Fantasy Impact: Matt Schaub basically looked for Johnson or Owen Daniels for the majority of this matchup against Miami. Johnson finished with 10 targets overall, and continued to show his great rapport with his quarterback. Injuries are clearly going to remain in the back of every Johnson owner's mind, but it's promising to see he start out with such a dominant display, reminding us all how good he really is. Don't hesitate to start him next week against Jacksonville. The Jaguars fared well against passing attacks last season, but Johnson is too good to bench right now.
