Summary

Wide Receiver Rank: #1All Players: #6

Johnson had one of the best seasons in NFL history for a receiver. He had nearly 100 receptions for almost 1,700 yards and 16 touchdowns. He scored touchdowns in all but five games and had eight 100-yard games. He even had two 200-yard games. Johnson was nearly unstoppable all season. Teams doubled teamed Johnston most every game but it didn't slow him down. He is in the prime of his career at age 26. The Lions have a pass-first offense that is emerging as one of the best in the game. Johnson has 1,000-yard, double-digit touchdown seasons three of five years. Johnson is a big receiver with top speed and the knack for making the big play. He will drop a few passes on occasion, but more than makes up for that because of his top playmaking ability. He is an amazing athlete, capable of making the circus catch.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Johnson is our top rated fantasy receiver. He might have a hard time matching last year's remarkable season but he can come close. He is in the prime of his career on a great offensive team. Johnson can get 1,500 yards and double-digit touchdowns. He is the real deal and will be a difference maker for fantasy teams once again.

comments about Calvin Johnson

Notes

Apr 19 04:02 pm

Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford would like help at wide receiver, preferably a wide receiver that can stretch the field opposite of WR Calvin Johnson. "I think with what we have on the roster right now, I would say somebody that can stretch the field," Stafford said this week when asked about what kind of receiver he'd like to see if the Lions did indeed add one via the draft. "In the NFL, more and more today, everyone is looking for that. It doesn't matter if you're playing opposite Calvin Johnson or not, you want somebody that can run. This is a game about speed."

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson agreed to restructure his contract, which has created nearly $3.5 million in salary cap space for the team. The team decreased Johnson's 2013 base salary from $5 million to $715,000 and converted the remaining $4.285 million into a signing bonus.

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson (fingers) played with at least two broken fingers most of the season and has been seen around the area with his hand wrapped. Head coach Jim Schwartz would not confirm the report, but he did not necessarily deny it, either. 'I am not going to comment on any of our players' health,' Schwartz said. 'But that's not uncommon for a wide receiver.'
Fantasy Impact: He sure didn't play like a guy with two broken fingers. We would expect him to be just fine for 2013, so don't worry too much about this injury.

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson did most of his damage against pass-stacked defenses this past season. With six or fewer defenders in the box, and five or more in coverage, Johnson caught 91 of his 122 passes for 1,428 of his 1,964 yards and all five of his touchdowns.

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson already has been targeted more times (187) in the regular season than any player in the past five seasons. Johnson still has one more game to play. If the Lions target Johnson eight times in Week 17, he'll eclipse the 19-game total - including playoffs - of New England Patriots WR Wes Welker in 2011 (194).

Dec 26 04:13 pm

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson (knee, ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 26.
Fantasy Impact: Johnson should play again this week but we wouldn't be surprised if he didn't play the whole game. He already has the receiving record for the season so no reason to push him too hard at this point.
