Calvin Johnson’s limited performance in week 4 has fantasy owners concerned with his health. The NFL top wide receiver and Detroit Lions premiere weapon on offense is battling an ankle injury that limited him during week 4 against the New York Jets. Johnson has missed back to back practices this week after only being targeted two times last week.

Now this isn’t the first time in his career fantasy owners have seen him on the injury list as his name popped up weekly last year. That also included routine days off during the week to keep him healthy for all 16 games. Stay tuned over the next few days before electing to secure him in your starting roster.

Johnson is just one of a few key wide receivers that have landed on the injury list including Eric Decker of the Jets, Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons and DeSean Jackson with the Washington Redskins. The Jets wide receiver missed practice on Thursday with a hamstring injury. The other two participated in practice as Jackson was a full go while Jones was limited.
 

 
Here are some of the other key injuries that have direct impact on fantasy rosters.

Bernard Pierce, Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens running back was a full go on Wednesday and Thursday. Now this has more of an impact for fantasy owners that picked up Justin Forsett or are considering Lorenzo Talliaferro as a sleeper to win you big money on FanDuel’s  Sunday Million and/or DraftKings‘ NFL $100K Play-Action.

Panthers Running Back Trio: The Carolina Panthers continue to have bad luck with their injuries as Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo WIlliams both missed practice week. The teams third running back Fozzy Whittaker has been limited as he deals with a thigh injury. This could open the door up for rookie running back Darrin Reaves in deeper fantasy leagues.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Buccaneers tight end is slowly getting healthy after suffering an ankle injury making his fantasy value rise. Seferian-Jenkins has been limited in practice this week. If he is active he should make as a great cheap alternative at tight end as he emerges as a key go to guy in the red zone.

Harry Douglas, Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons third receiver did not practice on Thursday as he continues to deal with his ankle injury. Douglas missed the teams week four matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. If Douglass doesn’t play it could increase the production of Devin Hester in the receiving game.

Ben Tate, Cleveland Browns: The veteran running back is listed questionable heading into week 5. This doesn’t have direct fantasy impact on Tate but could take some touches from Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West. Entering week 5, Tate has six carries compared to West’s team high 47 and Crowell’s 27.
