Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson finished last season with more than 1,600 yards but offensive coordinator Scott Linehan isn't ruling out an even bigger season for Johnson. When asked if Johnson could get to 2,000 receiving yards this season, Linehan would only say that he wouldn't put anything past Johnson because of his ability.
Lions OC Won’t Rule Out 2,000 Yards For Calvin Johnson: Fantasy Implications
Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan isn’t ruling out an even bigger season in 2012 for wide receiver Calvin Johnson. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Impact: The idea of having a 2,000-yard receiver is probably a bit ambitious but Johnson has the right quarterback in Matthew Stafford and plays in the right offense to give it a shot. The Lions have no real established running back so Stafford and Johnson will again have to be a big part of Detroit's offense. Johnson is arguably the top fantasy receiver and should get off to a great start in Week 1 against the St., Louis Rams.
