Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Nov. 27. He is listed as probable for the Week 13 game against the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Nov. 28.

Fantasy Tip: Johnson missed the first game against the Packers this season due to injury, which probably ate him up inside. He has three straight 100-yard games against the Packers, posting 26 receptions for 505 yards and two touchdowns. He has 11 touchdowns over his past 11 games against Green Bay since the start of the 2007 season, and five 100-yard performances during that span. Expect him to stuff another stat line full of Thanksgiving goodness again this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Darrelle Revis will travel all over the field covering Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson in Week 12.

Fantasy Tip: It should be an interesting matchup to watch, but there probably isn't a player in the league that can completely shut down Megatron. Keep him in your lineup.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Darrelle Revis said he plans on being physical with Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson in their Week 12 matchup. Revis has been playing more press coverage in recent weeks as his knee returns close to 100 percent health. The two faced each other in 2010 and Johnson was held to just one catch for 13 yards. "My thought was always just to be physical with them," said Revis. "They're big guys. I feel no receiver wants to get jammed or pressed at the line, so just be physical with those guys and match what they bring to the table."

Fantasy Tip: Johnson faces one of the best cornerbacks in the league this weekend, but that shouldn't cause you to consider straying from Megatron. He's a must-start every week.

Pittsburgh Steelers CB Ike Taylor is likely to draw the task of trying to stop or limit WR Calvin Johnson in Week 11. He has played well against some of the league's premier receivers, and limited Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green to a season-low 41 yards in their matchup in Week 2. Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall was also limited to just 52 yards, his second-lowest yardage total of the year, in Week 3 while working against Taylor.

Fantasy Tip: Regardless of what Taylor has done in previous games against other receivers, you never, ever sit Johnson in fantasy leagues unless he is hurt or one a bye. Period.

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson goes through a yoga session on game days, and it's something that he started doing a few years ago. "Whatever I'm feelin'," Johnson said of his yoga preference. "If I need to work on my hamstrings, if I need a full body deal or work on the hips, whatever needs work." He uses it as a way to maintain his flexibility and improve his overall health. Johnson has 484 yards receiving in the last two games.

Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said he is more concerned about the team defending Detroit Lions RB Reggie Bush Week 8 than he is defending WR Calvin Johnson. "When I look at where we seem to have some vulnerability using the passes out of the backfield, I look at what San Diego did, I look at times what Philadelphia did, if they were able to do anything at all, coming out of that backfield. That seems defensively to be a rough area for us," Jones said.

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said WR Calvin Johnson (knee) was dealing with some knee soreness after the team's Week 6 game and his status for Week 7 is uncertain at this point.

Fantasy Tip: Owners will have to monitor Johnson's practice participation this week to get an idea if he will be able to play Week 7. He should be started in all leagues if he is active for the game.

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson (knee) played a limited amount of snaps in the Week 6 game against the Cleveland Browns, including just 14 plays in the first half with two dropped passes. However, he ended the day with eight targets, three receptions and 25 yards. "We knew if we were only going to have him for a certain amount of snaps, we'd want those to be in the second half," head coach Jim Schwartz said.

Fantasy Tip: It doesn't make Johnson's fantasy owners feel good, but the presence of the Pro Bowl receiver helped open up the passing game for Matthew Stafford, and clear room for Reggie Bush and Joseph Fauria.
