Another player appearing on this list for the second straight week is Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson. After a terrible first week, Johnson’s numbers have improved slightly due to an increased target total. My concern with Megatron isn’t even his talent or usage, it’s the fact that this offense can’t seem to get anything going at all.
Between barely utilizing their best player in Johnson in a Week 1 game they trailed in, some questionable decisions out of the backfield, and an almost-certainly injured Matthew Stafford, I’m not really convinced any Lion has consistent fantasy value this season. That being said, Megatron can go off in any given week. That, in conjunction with the fact that his value is as low as it can possibly be right now, is why you’re going to have to tough this one out.
I’m certain the big games are coming and hopefully Stafford is able to come back at full strength sooner rather than later. Unfortunately Detroit heads to Seattle this week for a Monday night game that is likely to be ugly, so it'll likely be one more week before Calvin breaks out.
