Fantasy Impact: It had been assumed for weeks that Johnson would sit out the team’s bye and return immediately after, and it looks like that’s come to pass. Megatron is ready to get back into game action.
That’s good news for fantasy owners who didn’t grow impatient and trade him while he was out. He’s undoubtedly the league’s best receiver when he’s healthy and this is a first time health has ever been a real issue for him.
The Dolphins' defense is good, and they kept the San Diego Chargers in check last week, but Johnson is simply one of those players who can't be held out of the lineup as long as he's ready to play.
Fantasy owners should do whatever they have to do to get Johnson in that lineup for Week 10.
