SUMMARY

Wide Receiver Rank: #1
Overall: #4

Johnson had one of the best seasons in NFL history for a receiver. He had nearly 100 receptions for almost 1,700 yards and 16 touchdowns. He scored touchdowns in all but five games and had eight 100-yard games. He even had two 200-yard games. Johnson was nearly unstoppable all season. Teams doubled teamed Johnston most every game but it didn't slow him down. He is in the prime of his career at age 26. The Lions have a pass-first offense that is emerging as one of the best in the game. Johnson has 1,000-yard, double-digit touchdown seasons three of five years. Johnson is a big receiver with top speed and the knack for making the big play. He will drop a few passes on occasion, but more than makes up for that because of his top playmaking ability. He is an amazing athlete, capable of making the circus catch.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Johnson is our top rated fantasy receiver. He might have a hard time matching last year's remarkable season but he can come close. He is in the prime of his career on a great offensive team. Johnson can get 1,500 yards and double-digit touchdowns. He is the real deal and will be a difference maker for fantasy teams once again.

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson said he would like the team's backfield to help provide a more balanced offense in 2012. 'I don't mind blocking for our running backs, seeing those guys shine,' Johnson said. 'I want to get our running game strong and get some extra guys in the box. That helps (receivers) on the outside.'

The Detroit Lions signed WR Calvin Johnson to a seven-year, $132 million contract extension, which includes $60 million in guaranteed money.

If the Detroit Lions ends up using the franchise tag on DL Cliff Avril, it will have a price tag of $10.6 million. Between Avril, WR Calvin Johnson, QB Matthew Stafford and DL Ndamukong Suh, the four players would cost up to $61.624, according to league sources with knowledge of the situation.

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson's cap number for the 2012 season exceeds $21 million, according to a source with knowledge of Johnson's contract. That figure comes from a $14 million base salary, a $4.5 million roster bonus due March 14, and slightly more than $2.5 million in allocations from past bonuses payments. A new contract could dramatically reduce the cap number, while also giving Johnson a significant chunk of money right now.

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson is interested in signing an extension with the team, as he is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2012 season. 'Yeah, definitely, we're going to see here - soon,' Johnson said. 'We're going to have some talks soon, and hopefully get things rolling.'
