Calvin Johnson held out of Lions practice: Fantasy implications
Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson (knee) did not practice on Friday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Dennis Wierzbicki-US PRESSWIRE
Johnson had three catches for 34 yards in Monday night's loss to the Chicago Bears. The Lions face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners should know more when official injury reports are released on Friday but it’s a little discouraging that Johnson couldn’t go a day after being limited in practice. Johnson has just one touchdown catch on the season and has been the primary focus of opposing pass defenses.
Johnson remains a No. 1 fantasy receiver in Week 8, although Seattle has a good defense. It would be a surprise if he doesn’t play on Sunday.
