Calvin Johnson Looking Senational

Aug 03, 2009

Calvin Johnson already has looked sensational in camp with some highlight catches, and he's expected to have his best year ever. It's not going to be easy to top what he did last season, though. He had 78 catches for 1,331 yards and scored 12 touchdowns.

Lions coach Jim Schwartz says a more balanced offense will help the Detroit quarterbacks get the ball downfield to Johnson.

"He's a dynamic player who can change the course of the game just with one big-time play," Schwartz said. "Wherever I go in town, people say, 'Coach, you've got to get the ball to Calvin deep.' Yeah, I'd love to do that, but to do that you're going to see good play-actions, and you're going to see us run the ball because that's the only way we're going free him up. I know that as a defense coordinator."

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
