Fantasy Impact: Although Johnson has yet to miss a game this season, he has been playing hurt and as a result only caught two passes for 12 yards against the New York Jets last week. The fact that he feels better has to be great news for his fantasy owners, considering they likely spent a first-round pick on draft day to get the star wideout.
Johnson faces a Bills defense in Week 5 that ranks only in the middle of the pack in terms of the number of fantasy points it gives up to wide receivers, and now that he’s improving, he should see many more than two receptions next to his name in the box score.
Fantasy owners should start Johnson as they normally would moving forward.
