Marvin Harrison and Torry Holt are the only other receivers to have two 1,600-yard seasons in their careers. Johnson said after the game (via The Detroit News) that he considered the mark an accomplishment but said the team's record this year "overshadows a lot of things." Johnson remains on pace to break Jerry Rice 's NFL single-season mark of 1,848 yards.
Fantasy Impact: No fantasy owner left in the playoffs needs to be reminded that Calvin Johnson needs to be in the lineup every week. He has been incredible this season and the Lions will likely do everything they can to make sure he gets Rice’s record.
Johnson remains the No. 1 receiver in fantasy football.
