Headlines

Megatron finally gets big QB: The Lions made Georgia QB Matthew Stafford the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, giving the team a thick, strong-armed quarterback to lead them into the future. That's good news for Calvin Johnson, who has made a living posting huge numbers on a near-weekly basis with mediocre quarterbacks since he entered the league.

Fantasy Analysis

Johnson and Stafford should team up for many big plays over the course of their respective careers, but it's not going to start right away in Motown. Daunte Culpepper is expected to be Detroit's starter at the onset of the '09 season, but that's not necessarily bad for Johnson, either. There's no denying Johnson's ability as he ended last season with more than 1,300 receiving yards and 12 touchdown catches in spite of his club going 0-16. We see Johnson as a Top-3 Fantasy WR worth a pick between 11th and 15th overall in all drafts this summer.
