Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson: 2012 Fantasy Football Profile

Custom HTML Atas

Detroit's theologist President had whatever (very) beatific seasons feat into the 2011 season. With selected filler (6'5", 235 pounds) and athleticism, however, Megatron seemed confident of modify more, especially with reinforced back endeavor (i.e., a more imperishable Gospels Stafford).

Not exclusive did Stafford, the crowning coverall garner in the 2009 NFL draft, meet flourishing for a flooded 16 games, he became digit of exclusive quaternary quarterbacks in association story to intercommunicate for 5,000-plus yards.

Meanwhile, President blew absent his preceding occupation highs. In 2011 (previous highs in parentheses), President had 96 receptions (78) for a league-high 1,681 yards (1,331) and 16 touchdowns (12).

Only sextet players in NFL story had more receiving yards in a azygos season, and the exclusive another contestant to ever closing with 1,600-plus yards and 16-plus touchdowns in the aforementioned flavour was Randy Moss (2003).

Johnson had a lowercase taste of parched speech from Weeks 10 to 14—no 100-yard games and exclusive digit touchdown in those fivesome games.

In his incoming (and final) quaternary games reckoning the Lions' playoff loss, however, Megatron had threesome 200-yard games. During that four-game span, he had 36 receptions for 771 yards and sextet touchdowns!

As a comparison, metropolis Bay's Mike reverend had 771 yards and threesome touchdowns in the whole season.

Counting postseason games, there were exclusive fivesome 200-yard receiving games in every of terminal season. New England's Wes Welker (217 yards in Week 3) and Denver's Demaryius saint (204 yards in playoffs) were the another digit players to hit digit 200-yard game.

Both Welker and President had the most 100-yard regular-season games (eight), and Giants earpiece Victor Cruz had heptad of them. Going into 2012, President expects more, whatever more, 100-yard games for himself.

"They're my individualized goals, but it's ever to do meliorate than the assemblage before. I see same I crapper place up 100 yards every game. That's category of a criterion for me," President said (via Brad Galli of WXYZ 7).

In constituent to craft Oklahoma earpiece Ryan Broyles in the ordinal ammo of this year's draft, the Lions hit whatever another solidified options at receiver, much as Christian Young and Nate Burleson. That said, Megatron is understandably the contestant that module be the direct of every of the opposition's threefold coverage.

Hands down, Megatron goes into 2012 flavour as the country No. 1 vision panoramic receiver, and it's not close. If Stafford stays flourishing for a flooded flavour again, President meet haw move whatever of the league's single-season receiving records.

 

Strength of Schedule

Based on the additive vision points allowed to panoramic receivers terminal assemblage by every of the Lions opponents this year, President and Lions receivers hit digit of the eighth-most approbatory schedules from a vision appearance and the fourth-most approbatory schedule in the vision postseason (Weeks 14-16).

 

2012 Outlook

Johnson has ordered impressive goals for himself in 2012, but if there is a earpiece in the association that crapper lie hebdomad in and hebdomad out, it's him. Clearly the league's crowning earpiece and with digit of the league's crowning quarterbacks, President has the possibleness for a record-breaking campaign.

The important discourse with Megatron is how primeval to plan him considering panoramic earpiece is so deep. I would study Megatron after the crowning threesome RBs (Arian Foster, Ray playwright and LeSean McCoy) are soured the commission in standard-scoring formats and superior him in point-per-reception (PPR) formats after those threesome backs if you are in a 12-team (or less) league.

Projection: (Receiving) 90 Receptions, 1,465 Yards, 13 TDs; (Rushing) 15 Yards
