Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson put move after move on second-year cornerback Glover Quin

Andre Johnson: After back-to-back 1,500-plus-yeards receiving seasons, Johnson has finally made it to the top of the receiver rankings. Currently unhappy about his contract which makes him very underpaid, Johnson has been the utmost professional and said he will not hold out at all this year. Others may not have Johnson ranked as high as we do, but he is a WR1 every week, even if Matt Schaub misses time with an injury. And now that Johnson got a nice little raise a few days ago, a happy Johnson will be a highly productive Johnson.

I guess a rankings article wouldn't be complete if I didn't at least discuss the DeMeco Ryans tight end spot. This year's No. 1 tight end has been a hodgepodge of a couple different players. Between Dallas Clark, Vernon Davis and Antonio Gates, there really hasn't been a true knockout/No. 1 guy. And because of this there really isn't, or shouldn't, be many chuckles when you opt to take one of these guys as your fantasy starter.

I will give a quick glance as to why FantasyFootball.com feels Dallas Clark should be the king of the mountain: "Clark squeaks into the No. 1 spot. 2009 was clearly the best in Clark's career after catching 100 balls, 1,106 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. Don't expect those numbers with Anthony Gonzalez coming back and both Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie expected to get work as well. Regardless, Clark is Peyton Manning's favorite target, so still expect big numbers again in 2010."

Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson put move after move on second-year cornerback Glover Quin.

Quarterback Matt Schaub was desperate to pass to Johnson who was practically wearing Quin. After several pump fakes, Schaub gave up on the pass and was chased out of bounds by defensive end Connor Barwin.

Quin's tight coverage every day in practice against last season's most productive passing combination in the NFL has coaches believing he can become a shutdown cornerback in the league.

"He's bringing a lot of smarts to the table this season," Texans defensive coordinator Frank Bush said. "And he always goes unnoticed at practice, which means he's doing a great job."

A year ago, Quin was a fourth-round pick out of New Mexico. He took the starting left cornerback position from Fred Bennett in Week 4 against Oakland.

"At first, everything is coming at you like a whirlwind," Quin said. "Your head starts spinning and things start running together. But I just wanted to prove to my teammates that I was accountable. Whatever the team asked me to do, I was willing to do to help us win."

In his first start, the defense made a dramatic turnaround. After allowing Brian Cushing an average of 436.3 yards of offense in the first three games, the defense allowed only 165 yards in the 29-6 victory. In his debut, Quin not only proved to his teammates but to offenses around the league that he was a serious presence opposite veteran cornerback Dunta Robinson.

In his rookie season, Quin was targeted by quarterbacks 80 times and never allowed a touchdown. Denver's Champ Bailey was the only other regularly starting cornerback in the NFL to accomplish such a feat. Robinson was targeted 83 times and allowed four touchdowns. Quin also led the Texans with 11 passes deflected.

"He had a year to go through the fire, and now, he spent the offseason really taking care of his body, getting in great condition," Bush said. "Because of that hard work, he's looking really sharp right now."

Quin has made his presence felt around camp this month. He has shown the quickness and concentration to play conservatively and gamble at the same time.

Curiosity has always been his nature. While riding out Hurricane Katrina in his home state of Mississippi, he watched the storm make landfall from the second-floor window of a home instead of playing it safe with the rest of his family in the basement.
