Johnson is still the #1 guy in Detroit and without question one of the Top 5 WRs in the NFL. He's been disappointing but you could say that about a lot of players.

Lewis is volume dependent (basically the new version of Vereen), and neither Cooks or Matthews are consistent week to week.

I think you'd hold off. if a QB change happens in Detroit I think you're looking at Johnson getting force-fed.

 

I'd strongly consider Lewis & Cooks/Matthews for Calvin if you're strong at WR but weak at RB.

Philly's offense is starting to get going under Bradford; meanwhile Detroit's looks like garbage, averaging 13.7 ppg the past 4 games with opposing defenses calling out their plays before the snap and no semblance of a ground game to keep defenses from keying on the pass.

 

How is Lewis volume dependent?

• 3 TDs, one in each of the past 3 games.
• 6 touches inside the 10. {3 more than Gronk... and 3 more than Eddie Lacy}
• 11 RZ touches. {7 more than Gronk... and 3 more than Lacy}
• 104.5 yards/game {#5 among all RBs}
• 5.8 catches/game {#2 among all RBs..... and more than Gronk}
• 7.5 targets/game {#1 among all RBs}
• 5.0 yards/carry

Plus the wildcard factor- he plays in an offense that puts up points. It's not a struggle to get him opportunities inside the RZ.

 

I'd probably have to agree with todd. In my biggest pay league I had Calvin and to help try and save my season (from 0-3....thanks dez, Andre Johnson and all the other underperformers...) I traded Calvin, Greg Olsen, and Jonathan Stewart for Joseph Randle, Ronnie Hillman and Brandon Cooks. 2-0 since...would have been 0-5 if I'd stayed the course. Sometimes past results are not a predictor of future success. Johnson looked like he's step...still a top 10 option at wr but might not be elite anymore.
