Calvin Johnson returns to Lions practice, fantasy value high for Week 10
Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson returned to practice on Friday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Al Messerschmidt
Johnson has not missed a game this season and is coming off a 129-yard effort in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Johnson, however, admitted on Thursday that he suffered nerve damage earlier this season in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and that's made it tough for him to grip the football. Johnson has just one touchdown catch on the season heading into Sunday's rematch with the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact: Johnson’s status has never been much of a concern for Week 10 but any doubt is erased with him practicing on Friday.
Johnson remains Detroit’s top offensive weapon and a No. 1 fantasy receiver in all formats.
