Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson has been declared out for the team's Week 11 matchup against the New York Jets. Johnson is dealing with a groin injury, and was not present at any practices this week.
Stevie Johnson injury: Bills WR out for game, fantasy owners
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson is out for Week 11. We break down the fantasy implications.
Tom Szczerbowski
Johnson sustained the injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. This will be the second game he misses this season, and he's been banged up off and on all year. He leads the Bills in receiving yards with 41 receptions for 471 yards and three touchdowns.
The severity of the injury is unknown, so we’ll have to wait until Thursday and Friday of next week to know whether or not he could miss multiple games with this particular injury. It sounds like there was no hope he’d practice or play this week.
Fantasy Impact: Johnson has been a disappointment from a fantasy football perspective this season, but he's still been productive to some extent. Fantasy owners will need to find a reliable backup, but with Robert Woods also out, the options on the Bills' actual roster are clearly limited. Marquise Goodwin and T.J. Graham are set to start and neither are smart options.
