The fantasy season is over for most, but some of you crazy people have Week 17  championships.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola came crashing back down to earth in Week 16. The veteran receiver caught just two balls for 21 yards in the Lions loss to the Denver Broncos.

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson returned to action in Week 16, posting 42 yards on 10 carries along with one catch for an additional yard in the Lions loss to the Denver Broncos.

Kerryon Johnson Should See Significant Work In Return

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson is back from the IR, and reports indicate that the Lions plan to give him a significant workload in his first game back.
