Strength of schedule is calculated from the opponents projected fantasy points allowed for the WR position. The best rating is +16 which gives the player the advantage against the defense and indicates an easy opponent, the worst rating is -16 which gives the defense the advantage and indicates a tough opponent.
Johnson really came into his own in his second year last season. He's the only show in town, which can be both good and bad; he'll draw the double coverage, but he'll also draw the most targets. Johnson has the skills to overcome and will be one of the top fantasy WRs no matter how bad or good the Lions are in 2009.

Stafford (knee) was taking snaps with the first-team offense during Tuesday's practice, the Detroit News reports.
Recommendation: We'll have to wait and see how his knee responds to the activity on Wednesday. If ...
I am originally from Detroit and still love my Lions but I have a more selfish reason for asking. Next week it looks like I will be 4-3 and playing the lone 6-1 team (I am anticipating a win this week). But my starting QB (Carson Palmer) and my ...

Draft Analysis
Round 4, Pick 1
Positives Jesus in cleats. Perhaps the most talented WR EVAH! Martz is gone, though much of his gameplan is still there for the WRs to feast on. Negatives He plays for Detroit, which is a stigma on anybodies resume. Playing alongside Roy Williams, Shaun McDonald, AND Mike Furrey could cost him a few valuable receptions. Jon Kitna throwing the ball doesn't always help either. Draft Strategy This is a guy I want, and I'll be happy regardless of the outcome. CJ is primed dominate the league sooner rather than later, and I want him on my side when it happens. Detroit will revert back to more conventional 2 WR sets, meaning Calvin and Roy will both get their share. The star of camp has clearly been CJ, though, so Roy may have to take a backseat like everyone else. (Contributed by: FantasyHussy)
Round 5, Pick 6
Positives He's a world beater in terms of talent and has williams on the other side to take pressure away. Negatives Probably has the worst QB in the league throwing him the ball and very little running game Draft Strategy Since i took S Smith as my WR 1, i needed a WR2 who has WR1 potential in case Smith doesn't produce (due to suspension, injuries, QB, etc). I like Johnson for his elite skills. With Roy Williams future up in Detroit up in the air, they should also be getting CJ more involved in the offense in year 2. (Contributed by: djsquillz)
Round 4, Pick 11
Positives Talented WR with a good upside. Negatives Post Martz Lions may not pass as much. Draft Strategy Was looking for a strong WR2 at this point, Calvin is capable of making WR1 points. (Contributed by: DAFLCommish)
