Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is officially active for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. Johnson has been dealing with an ankle injury since before the team's Week 9 bye. His practices were limited, but the expectation has been that Johnson would suit up for the division rivalry. Johnson has struggled to put up the numbers we've come to expect from the yearly Pro Bowler. Through eight games this season, Johnson has just three touchdowns and has managed over 100 receiving yards only once. The Packers are allowing 257 passing yards per game (19th in the league). Johnson and the Lions' offense will hope to get it together after the team's bye week.

Fantasy impact: Johnson remains a low-end WR1 in a game where the Lions will presumably need to be throwing the ball. Despite Johnson’s struggles, he’s been able to keep his fantasy season afloat in PPR formats, averaging six catches a game. Still, fantasy owners in all formats are hoping for a spark from Johnson down the stretch.
