Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson did not practice on Thursday due to an ankle injury. He also missed Wednesday's practice and is likely going to be questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
Fantasy owners will have to watch Calvin Johnson’s ankle injury
Calvin Johnson missed another practice due to an ankle injury. We break down the fantasy implications.


Johnson suffered the injury in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers and was able to return after his ankle was re-taped. Johnson didn't seem to be affected by the injury, coming up with six catches for 82 yards in that game, but it would appear some swelling has occurred for the All-Pro wideout.
While last season he did have a shocking inactive in Week 5, that circumstance was due to a knee injury, and teams generally exercise more caution in that case. He should be ready to go this week and will terrorize the Jets cornerbacks as long as he’s active.
Fantasy impact: Johnson’s owners will want to keep a close eye on his ankle, and it would obviously help to see him go through a Friday practice. As long as Megatron is active, he’ll be a top-three option.
