Summary

Wide Receiver Rank: #1All Players: #6

Despite having just five touchdowns, Johnson produced one of the best seasons ever for a receiver. He nearly topped 2,000 yard, grabbing 122 passes for 1,964 yards. He scored just five times but had 11 100-yard games. He had 100-yard games eight of his last nine games. Johnson was consistent and nearly unstoppable every week despite the opposition double and triple teaming him in hopes to stop him. Johnson also had double-digit receptions six games and at least three receptions every game. Johnson has three straight 1,000-yard seasons and averages an amazing 1,823 yards per season the last two years. Johnson has double-digit touchdowns three of six seasons in the NFL. 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. Johnson is the best receiver in the game right now.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Johnson is our top rated fantasy receiver once again. Don't get caught up in his scores from last season. It was a fluke as much as anything considering his past success in finding the end zone. We think he could see a dip in receptions and yards, though. It is inevitable after last season but he can still get about 100 receptions for 1,600 yards and double-digit scores. He is worth a first-round pick come draft day.

Notes

May 20 10:52 am

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson (fingers) confirmed he played with broken fingers last season. He has been trying to straighten them out this offseason, but didn't have surgery.
Fantasy Impact: He sure didn't play like a guy with broken fingers.

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.

Feb 21 12:33 pm

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.
