Wide Receiver Rank: #68
Overall: #211
Johnson's move to San Fran really didn't help his numbers, but he was a bigger factor in the offense the second half of the season. He had three or more receptions in six of his last eight games. Johnson also scored two of his three touchdowns during that stretch. His numbers throughout his career have been very similar through the years. Johnson averages 43 receptions for 537 yards and two touchdowns. He'll get a chance to move into a starting role with the Lions, possibly starting opposite Calvin Johnson. Johnson has been more of a possession receiver than a big-play threat throughout his career. Johnson has good size and speed with pretty good hands.

His production has never been off the charts, but he could eclipse career highs if he gets a chance to start in Detroit. He could produce with Johnson drawing much of the attention in the passing game. Even with that said, Johnson is more of a depth guy for fantasy teams, getting some occasional starts. |

| Nicholas J. Cotsonika, of the Detroit Free Press, reports Detroit Lions WR Bryant Johnson said he believes he will be helped this season with WR Calvin Johnson being double-covered by opponents. 'It's going to do a lot of good things, not just for my game but for the team as well,' Bryant Johnson said. 'He's going to draw double coverage, which means I may get singled-up a lot. I can use my ability on the back side to beat one-on-one coverage and kind of balance out the defense.' |
| Fantasy Impact: Johnson has a chance to have a solid season in a starting role with Calvin Johnson getting most of the attention at receiver. |
