The demise of Calvin Johnson was greatly over exaggerated.
Calvin Johnson has a monster day for patient fantasy owners against Vikings
Calvin Johnson isn’t the same this year? Yeah, right. He just had a Calvin Johnson day against the Minnesota Vikings.

Playing through injuries this season, Johnson has taken some criticism for his lack of touchdowns. But on Sunday, Megatron was all over the field against the Minnesota Vikings. Johnson caught 12 passes for 207 yards and a late touchdown.
Fantasy Impact: Calvin Johnson is now on pace for over 1,700 yards and 107 receptions, both of which would best his 2011 totals. Johnson obviously hasn’t had the same touchdown production that he had a season ago, but the scores are starting to come.
Johnson seems to be getting healthier, and the Lions' offense has certainly focused on getting him the football in recent weeks. He's back to his dominant ways and should be a fantasy stud down the stretch.
