Why is Calvin Johnson rated so low in yahoo fantasy football?
He's projected to get 1000 yards and 5 touchdowns...good for 17th on the WR list behind T.O. and a favreless Rice. What's up with their projections? NFL.com has him at 1324 yards and 12 TD's. It's like the extreme ends of the spectrum here. And barber on yahoo is rated to get 84 points...And he's the starter. Someone high when they made these rankings on yahoo or am I missing something and am now screwed for having C(alvin)J(ohnson) on three teams?

What are you talking about?! Yahoo! has him ranked 4th...I'll provide a link to the article to prove it.

the only reason he may not be a great reciever is that he is injury prone...he gets lots of small injuries. and he is also sooo inconsistent, coming from a guy that has had him for 2 years. but you also have to look around calvin, he has stafford and a terrible line and no other recievers on that team. so they are definately doublin up on him. he isnt going to be as good as a guy like miles autin or fitz, who actually have ppl that can catch the ball around them

hadn't actually looked that deeply at yahoo's projections... i don't find them reliable at all.. prefer espn.com's fantasy draft kit by far.
kinda funny they have him ranked higher on their preseason projected rank than many receivers, but they have projected him to have less fantasy points than at least a handful of those WR's ranked below him....
But no, I think your fine with him as your 2nd or 3rd round pick... Good upside, hopefully won't get triple teamed this year, and if you didn't know he was banged up all last year
*look at his numbers two years ago; 3rd ranked WR in most leagues... not overrated preseason that year at all

Calvin has been way OVER rated the last 2 seasons,maybe they've finally learned from their past mistakes..If Calvin were on a team with a strong armed/accurate QB,I'd say he is under rated,but Stafford could NOT get him the ball deep last season when he was double teamed; Which is why Calvin sat on my bench the entire 2nd half of last season.
