Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson was back at practice on Friday afternoon. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle sprain, but is expected to play against the New York Jets in Week 4.
Fantasy owners can breathe easy with Calvin Johnson back at practice
Calvin Johnson was back at practice on Friday. We break down the fantasy implications.


Megatron suffered an ankle tweak in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. He had his ankle re-taped on the training table, but was able to return in the Lions' big win. The fact that he went through practice on Friday is a great sign Detroit was just keeping him fresh for the road game in New York.
Fantasy impact: The Jets rank first against the run right now, so the Lions will likely be using a heavy dose of Johnson. He's much larger than the Jets' undersized corners, so he could be in for a massive game if quarterback Matthew Stafford can generate some protection against all the blitzes he'll see. Stafford could also benefit after a major letdown to fantasy owners in Week 3.
