Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson is questionable to face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. He will be a game-time decision for the 9:30 am EDT start time in London. Johnson was limited in practice all week.
Calvin Johnson remains a major fantasy question mark
Calvin Johnson is questionable for Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Last week, there was some buzz that the Lions would just hold Megatron out this week because he would have about a month to rest his ankle with the bye coming up in Week 9. He did run some routes last week and the Lions took it right up until the inactive report 90 minutes prior to kickoff before ruling him out. This will obviously happen again and it’s a total guessing game on his status.
If he’s active, he’ll get one of the best matchups against one of the worst defense in the league.
Fantasy impact: Basically, you have to start him if he's active. Yes, fantasy owners had a tough pill to shallow with tight end Jimmy Graham putting up a zero, but Megatron is just too good. Obviously, check back Sunday and you might have to set your alarm for the early game.
Golden Tate has to be in all lineups regardless. Duh.
