Fantasy Analysis: This just goes to show the caliber receiver that Calvin Johnson is. Jerry Rice often referred to as the “GOAT,” as in the Greatest of All Time. Johnson has broken Rice’s record with room to spare.
Before the end of the 2012-13 season, Johnson could be the first player in NFL history to hit 2,000 yards receiving in a single season. Calvin Johnson has been one of the best fantasy players again this year.
