Kerryon Johnson Absent Again
6 years agoDetroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Johnson sat out on Thanksgiving and seems likely to miss another game this weekend against the Rams. Don't plan to use him in fantasy. With Johnson inactive last Thursday, LeGarrette Blount saw a bigger workload and had a season-high 19 carries for 88 yards and two touchdowns. He should see a heavy workload again, but the matchup is a tough one and the Lions could be chasing points early. Blount is a low-end, touchdown-dependent RB2. Theo Riddick is an attractive PPR flex with Detroit likely to be passing often in comeback mode.
