Calvin Johnson injury update: Lions receiver ready to roll for fantasy owners

Megatron is the NFL best receiver with 1,198 yards, 11 scores and 66 receptions. He has a 329-yard game on his resume from earlier this year and averaged 172.2 yards per game over his last five.
He’s owned the Packers. In his last three games against them Megatron put up these lines: 11 catches for 244 yards and a score, five catches for 143 yards and a score, and 10 catches for 118 yards.
Fantasy impact: Unless something crazy happens like it did back in Green Bay earlier this year when Calvin was a shocking scratch, he’s going to be suiting up for a huge game. The Packers don’t have the personnel to guard him and he’ll be looking at another monster day. He’s the No. 1 WR on anyone’s rankings this week and will get to put up some major numbers in front of the home folks in a dome.
