Calvin Johnson is on the doorstep to break the record for most receiving yards in a season, currently sitting at an NFL-high 1,667 yards and also leading the pack with 174 targets. He trails Brandon Marshall by one reception for the lead with 106.
Fantasy Impact: Megatron is fine and there’s really no way you’re going to bench him even in a one-man league. His matchup is just average as the Falcons are 17th against the pass. Defensive coordinator also is likely to come up with a plan to keep Megatron in check and he should see a boatload of bracket coverages.
Start him. Duh.
