Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson had a productive day Sunday. The superstar went for 83 yards on six receptions in Detroit's 24-7 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Calvin Johnson can’t replicate last week’s magic for fantasy owners
The superstar wide receiver was fine Sunday, but after Week 1’s dominance, he had to fall off a bit. We break down the fantasy implications.

It was a far cry from Johnson's Week 1 performance, when he went for 164 yards and two touchdowns in the Lions' blowout Monday night win over the New York Giants. Still, he led the Lions in targets and receiving yards and tied for the team lead in receptions.
Fantasy impact: Johnson comes out of Week 2 with a season line of 13 catches, 247 yards and two scores. You could do far worse; basically all other receivers will do worse.
There’s not much to say about Johnson that hasn’t been said so far. He’s at worst the No. 2 receiver in fantasy, and he’s only that low if you have a significant amount of love for Denver’s Demaryius Thomas. Johnson is incredible.
