Calvin Johnson injury: Banged up knee does not affect fantasy value
Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is listed as probable. We breakdown the fantasy implications.
Tim Fuller-US PRESSWIRE
Johnson will be up against Seattle’s top-tier secondary that features a fresh new rival in Richard Sherman. After some friendly banter this week, the two will go head-to-head in today’s NFC showdown.
Fantasy Analysis: It goes without saying that Calvin Johnson is a must-start week to week. And although he has not put up near the numbers he did a year ago, he is still a big-time threat. He was averaging 2.0 touchdowns per game this time last year, but has failed to find the end zone consistently in 2012.
It won’t be any easier this week against Seattle. Start Johnson but don’t be surprised if he doesn’t have his best outing thus far.
