The Detroit Lions are naturally more focused on the playoffs than fantasy football. According to ESPN.com, the Lions and head coach Jim Caldwell are seriously considering sitting Calvin Johnson out the next few weeks.
“I do not hold a medical degree. It may appear I do from time to time to you maybe, but I don’t,” Caldwell said. “The fact of the matter is I leave it up to the doctors. Those are the professionals. They know exactly what it takes.
“Them in conjunction with Calvin and how he feels, they treat not only symptoms of the situation but also the patient as well in terms of how he feels. So they’ll let us know what’s the best path to take.”
Johnson suffered a high right ankle sprain in the second half against Green Bay in Week 3 and was limited the following week against the New York Jets.
