Stevie Johnson misses practice Wednesday, fantasy status uncertain

Fantasy Impact: Johnson is not exactly having his best season. In addition to his groin issues he’s struggled with his hip as well. Since he made his debut in the NFL, he’s played hurt.
It looked like Johnson could be a rather electric player in the fantasy world after his first two seasons in the league. That said, with rookie E.J. Manuel at quarterback and Johnson limping on a regular basis, it's hard to have him slotted as no more than a second option in fantasy lineups.
Add that to the fact the Bills play a solid Jets secondary this Sunday and Johnson's owners may want to consider sitting him this week. Should Johnson play, he may be limited and it seems that particularly when Manuel plays, Johnson concedes some of his targets to teammate Robert Woods.
