Johnson is the prototypical wide receiver every team in the NFL would kill to have. He is as elite as they come. Even though this was a big day statistically, it was only slightly above average for Johnson. He is capable of producing at a much higher level.
Fantasy Analysis: Johnson is sort of a one-man offense for the pass-heavy Detroit Lions. The wide out is one of the elite players in the league, as he can be problematic for just about any team. Johnson is a huge target for any passer, but he's developed a nice rapport with his quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Johnson continues to get an awful lot of targets and is often indefensible. He can be counted on week-to-week to provide your team with fantasy points. Johnson is a rock solid must-start.
