Full Story »Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 5: The Early Games

Calvin Johnson is a once-in-a-generation receiver, and he's aimlessly wasting his career by playing for the Detroit Lions. It's a shame, really. Johnson was once an unguardable receiver who made defensive backs look foolish when he'd put his big body in place to snag would-be interceptions.
