News: The Lions recorded just one touchdown during a Week 2 loss to the Vikings and you guessed right if you said WR Calvin Johnson had a hand in it. Johnson gave the Lions a 10-0 lead when he hauled in a 8-yard touchdown from QB Matthew Stafford in the second quarter. Johnson finished with five catches for 51 yards. His longest gainer went 22 yards. He also had two carries for 16 yards. [...]

Calvin Johnson reaches paydirt

Source (fanball.com) (WR - det) | 0 comments.

Calvin Johnson caught a team-high five passes for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Vikings at Ford Field.

Our View: Johnson caught rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford's first career touchdown pass, and the pair has potential to develop into one of the best tandems in the NFL. For the time being, Johnson should keep his stud status among fantasy receivers while Stafford learns the ropes.

Stafford struggles in home opener

Matthew Stafford struggled in today's 27-13 loss to the Vikings at Ford Field, as he completed 18-of-30 passes for 152 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions.

Our View: While it was nice to witness the rookie's first career touchdown pass (to stud Calvin Johnson), his overall performance was forgettable. He looks to be inconsistent this season while adjusting to the NFL.

Beats Out Daunte Culpepper

Matthew Stafford won the Lions' quarterback derby. Daunte Culpepper didn't lose the job. That's what Detroit's new coach, Jim Schwartz, emphasized Monday when he made the No. 1 overall draft pick the starter for Sunday in New Orleans, when the Lions try to win for the first time in 21 months. "I've had a lot of very tough decisions in the last few days -- guys making the 53-man roster or not making it -- but none more difficult than at quarterback," he said. "We announced to our team this morning that Matt Stafford is going to be our starting quarterback." One of the factors that helped Schwartz make his decision was the 21-year-old rookie's chemistry with Detroit's biggest offensive weapon, Calvin Johnson."I think he had 15 snaps in the preseason with Calvin, and you could already see what was possible there," Schwartz said. "The big plays were always there." While Schwartz repeatedly mentioned his comfort with the possibility of having to play Culpepper, he stressed that Stafford was not going to be on a short leash."This isn't an internship," he said. "This isn't a trial basis. He's our starting quarterback. We said that, to win the job, he had to be ready, and he had to be our best quarterback, and that's what he has shown." (ESPN)

FF Today's Take: Sounds like good news for Calvin Johnson owners. Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco set the bar high last season for rookie quarterbacks and it's tough to imagine Stafford reaching that level, but with most gifted wide receiver in the league at his disposal, Stafford has a chance to be starting fantasy QB by mid-season.

Status: Probable. Likely will play
According to the Associated Press, Calvin Johnson (hand, knee) is "doubtful" to play on Thanksgiving against Green Bay. The AP doesn't cite sources, but issued the report after coach Jim Schwartz's Monday presser. Schwartz "didn't sound optimistic" that Calvin would play on Thursday. Johnson wouldn't have practiced if the Lions held a workout Monday, which isn't an encouraging sign. Keep a close eye on Tuesday and Wednesday's practice reports. He'll likely be listed as questionable.
