Megatron has a career-high 214 yards and two TDs
Lions receiver Calvin Johnson scored eight touchdowns (two per game) in his first four games of the season, which was something no other player had done to begin a season.
Then things slowed down dramatically for Megatron as he scored only five touchdowns from Week 5 to Week 14.
Even worse, he scored only one touchdown in his previous five games coming into Week 15. During that five-game span, Johnson also had no 100-yard games.
With a career-best performance, Johnson delivered for fantasy owners at exactly the right time.
In today's win over the Raiders, Johnson had nine receptions for 214 yards and two touchdowns. That is 33 fantasy points in standard leagues or 42 points in point-per-reception (PPR) leagues.
On the season, Johnson has 81 receptions for 1,335 yards and 14 touchdowns, all of which set career highs.
Johnson has two decent matchups to close the season against the Chargers and Packers.
