    Johnson has been unable to practice in recent weeks due to a lingering knee injury, but analysts have been more concerned with his lack of production in the red zone. Megatron earned his reputation as one of the top receivers in the NFL by dominating smaller defensive backs and producing big plays, but this season he has caught just one touchdown. Even so, Johnson currently leads the team with 48 receptions, 767 receiving yards, a 16.0 yards-per-catch average and 15 plays of 20+ yards.

    The Lions lost to the Vikings, 20-13, back in Week 4. The rematch is slated for 1 p.m. ET on FOX this Sunday.
