Analysis: This is a great sign for Johnson owners (of which there are many). Johnson, 31, is approaching the outward bounds of his prime, but this season he is still considered among the elite fantasy options. He ranks No. 4 in SB Nation's standard league and PPR wide receiver rankings for Week 1. Don't worry about the missed reps in practice, Johnson is a must-start in just about every fantasy format. He should match up nicely against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
