Calvin Johnson returned to practice for the Detroit Lions on Thursday, a day after sitting out because of a foot injury. Johnson's injury was not considered serious and coach Jim Schwartz never commented on Johnson's status for Sunday's game with the San Francisco 49ers.
Calvin Johnson Back At Practice For Lions; Fantasy Value Holds Steady
Wide receiver Calvin Johnson returned to practice on Thursday for the Detroit Lions, a day after sitting out because of a foot injury. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Impact: This is the news fantasy owners were expecting to hear, so there is no need to scramble for a replacement. Johnson is a must-start in all fantasy leagues, even though the 49ers defense could pose a challenge to the Detroit offense. There is no reason to think, however, that Matthew Stafford, will stop looking Johnson's way.
