Johnson is finally over an ankle injury he suffered back in Week 3. He initially tried to play through the injury for two games before aggravating it in Week 5. Johnson was then shut down for the next three games and had the Lions’ Week 9 bye for further rest. He should not have any limitations upon his return. Johnson has 22 catches for 348 yards and two touchdowns in five games.
Fantasy impact: Barring any setbacks, Megatron should go back to being his usual self, and this might be your last chance to buy low on him. Golden Tate has had fantastic performance as the No. 1 with Johnson out, and his numbers will take a hit, but he should still be a reliable WR3 the rest of the way. Johnson and Tate are both solid starts even against Miami's defense this week.
