| 1. | Calvin Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson (hand) hauled in seven passes for a career-high 161 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown, in Sunday's wild 38-37 win over Cleveland. Analysis: This is just what Johnson needed - to face a soft defense like the Browns. Just as encouraging for Johnson is that rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford went off for 422 yards and five touchdowns, an impressive performance even against lowly Cleveland. Johnson was even a factor when he wasn't catching passes, drawing a huge pass interference call in the endzone with no time remaining to set up Stafford's game-winning touchdown pass to Brandon Pettigrew. | 1 hour | |
| 2. | Lions | C. Johnson records 161 yards Week 11 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson caught seven passes for 161 yards and one touchdown in Week 11. | 4 hours | |
| 3. | Calvin Johnson limps his way to 161 yard... | (Rotoworld) Calvin Johnson caught seven passes for 161 yards and one touchdown in Week 11 against the Browns. Analysis: Johnson narrowly missed a touchdown catch in the second quarter and came down hard on the play, limping off the field. He was in and out of the game quite a bit after that while clearly in pain, yet still managed to get completely behind the defense for a 75-yard touchdown and topped 100 yards for just the second time this season. | 5 hours | |
| 4. | Stafford participates fully | (FFChamps) Detriot Lions' quarterback Matthew Stafford participated fully in the team's Friday practice, and will start Sunday at home against the Browns. Analysis: This is the first time in over a month that Stafford hasn't been limited in practice. The rookie has been inconsistent in his inaugural campaign, but he has a howitzer attached to his right shoulder, and already gives the Lions their best chance to win week-to-week. His presence optimizes Calvin Johnson's fantasy value, as well, as Stafford recognizes Megatron is exponentially better than any other option he has currently running routes in Motown. | 2 days | |
| 5. | Calvin Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson was limited in Friday's practice by a hand injury, but is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, the Lions' official site reports. Analysis: We're not sure how he suffered the injury -- he may have just bumped it in Thursday's practice -- but Johnson's status for Sunday doesn't appear to be in jeopardy. | 2 days | |
| 6. | Johnson looks healthy in loss | (Rotoworld) Calvin Johnson caught eight passes for 84 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. Analysis: Johnson's knee looked completely fine. He did take a shot over the middle in the second half and may have had the wind knocked out of him, but he didn't miss any plays. The Vikings had a safety on top of Johnson all day and prevented any huge plays, but it's an encouraging game for Megatron's owners. | 7 days |
