Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is officially listed as probable for Sunday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Johnson missed practice on Wednesday with a foot injury, but he appears ready to play in his team's primetime game. Johnson caught six passes for 111 yards in the Lions' season-opening victory over the St. Louis Rams and is still the top fantasy wide receiver in the league.

Fantasy Impact: Calvin Johnson's status for Sunday night's game is no longer up in the air and he should be started without hesitation. Matthew Stafford also benefits from Johnson's presence in the lineup, but Detroit's passing offense will face a tough test against the San Francisco 49ers.
