Stevie Johnson misses practice Wednesday, but says he’ll play: Fantasy implications
Stevie Johnson sat out practice Wednesday for the Bills, but he maintained that he will play Sunday against the Rams despite a hamstring injury. We break down the fantasy implications.

Johnson has yet to miss a start this season, but he was limited last week after suffering a hamstring injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Chan Gailey also expressed confidence Monday that the wide receiver will be able to suit up in Week 14, however.
Fantasy Impact: The Bills appear to be holding Johnson out as a precaution, and unless the organization is simply toying with fans and media, it appears that the wideout will play against the Rams. He should be a viable fantasy option this week, despite hauling in just two passes against the Jags. Johnson had six receptions in three straight games prior to Sunday. If you need a good WR3 (borderline WR2), Johnson should be a safe start.
