Don't fret, fantasy football owners. You'll be able to start Andre Johnson on Thursday night when the Texans take on the Eagles.

The NFL Network's Jason La Canfora is reporting that the Houston wideout was fined $25,000, but was not suspended for his actions in an on-field fight with Tennessee cornerback Cortland Finnegan during Houston's 20-0 win on Sunday. Finnegan, a well-known instigator across the league, was also fined, but not suspended.

The two got into the altercation in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. Both were ejected from the game following the incident.

Johnson, one of the game's best receievers is having another stellar year with 65 catches for 869 yards and five touchdowns.

The fines match up with the one handed out to Raiders defensive end Richard Seymour after he punched Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in a Week 11 matchup.
