Johnson also did not practice last Friday and finished last weekend's win over the Seattle Seahawks with 46 yards on three catches. The Lions face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday.
Fantasy Impact: The consensus among beat writers earlier in the week was that Johnson will play. Fantasy owners will know more, however, once the injury report comes on out on Friday afternoon. Johnson has not missed any games but has been slowed in recent weeks.
For now, Johnson remains a No. 1 fantasy option at wide receiver for Week 9. If Johnson doesn't play, Titus Young would be the receiver most likely to see an increase in fantasy value.
