1 pm - Calvin Johnson [Q] - WR, DET - Active (1 Viewer)

A thread for news.

 

[Ilov80s]

Multiple twitter sources said he is running routes in pregame, didn't do that last week. He is joking with teammates, seemed more fluid in drills than last week. Seems likely he plays.

ESPN said if he plays, it will be very limited.

@JasonLaCanfora: Calvin Johnson IS playing

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Active.

Glazer says he may be limited, but other reports say he looks good in warmups.

Schefter said he's active and starting. Not sure what that translates to as far as playing time, but even as a decoy he adds value.

Doesn't he draw Joe Haden if he does play?

Calvin has already torched Patrick Peterson this season. There isn't a CB, even as good as Haden, that can take him out of the game.

The Lions reportedly insist Calvin Johnson (knee) looked good enough in pre-game warmups that he will not be restricted Sunday.
Johnson will start and the Lions have no plans to limit his snaps. Even if he does take some plays off, they'll likely be on early-downs and between the 20s. He's going to be heavily targeted on third downs and in the red zone despite a tough matchup with Joe Haden. Megatron needs to be in all fantasy lineups.

Peanut Tillman has had the most success against him. More wins than losses in their history.

Ah, yes. You are correct with that one. Hasn't had that much success against Tillman and the Bears.

Revis was on the money last two times he played him 1 on 1..... Last year was ridiculous how he was on him like glue.
