Stevie Johnson not very effective in return for Bills, fantasy owners

The Bills wide receiver couldn’t accomplish much against the Dolphins. We break down the fantasy implications.

Rick Stewart

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson had a moderately quiet day in his return to the lineup. Johnson caught six passes for 61 yards and no touchdowns. None of Buffalo's fantasy names played particularly well in the team's Week 7 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy implications: Johnson is the top receiving option in Buffalo and will continue to see a healthy amount of targets every week. However, his value is limited by the team’s variety of issues on offense. Johnson has 26 catches for 315 yards and two touchdowns on the year. He has only gone over the 100 yard receiving mark once this season back in Week 2 which also happened to be when he last scored a touchdown.

Johnson will remain a low-end WR3 with slightly more value in PPR over standard leagues. While he is capable of surprising owners with an occasional gem, owners should not expect much more than low but steady production through out the rest of the year. He will be a stronger start in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints.
