| Curses! Megatron voted to cover of Madden: Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson was selected Wednesday to appear on the cover of Madden NFL '13, the popular video game, in a vote by fans. Johnson beat out Panthers quarterback Cam Newton by garnering 52 percent of the more than 651,000 votes in the competition between the playmakers. But with the honor comes what some believe is a curse: The majority of players who have appeared on the cover have seen a decline in stat production, usually due to injury. In the 14 years that the game has had players on the cover, only Larry Fitzgerald and Drew Brees have maintained quality stats, albeit not career-highs. Johnson, who just signed the richest deal for a wide receiver in NFL history, had a career-best 16-touchdown, 1,681-yard season in 2011. He also doesn't buy into the Madden curse. "No, not a big guy for curses," Johnson told the Detroit Free-Press earlier this offseason. "I don't even think about it." (Updated 04/26/2012) |

| Fantasy Analysis |
| Some Fantasy owners are laughing in the face of this curse and plan to draft Johnson with a first-round pick, others are swearing up and down that they'll never take him because he's on the cover (with the non-believers gleefully cheering in hopes of getting him later than expected on Draft Day). The reality is that even if you believe in the curse, you have to expect Johnson to remain a dominant receiver playing in the Lions' pass-happy offense. Though there's some concern that Johnson could conceivably lose motivation to play well with $60 million sitting in his bank account, the culture in Detroit along with Johnson's own hard-working nature suggests he'll still put his best foot forward. Expect him to go anywhere from sixth to 10th overall in drafts. (Updated 04/26/2012). |
