Calvin Johnson returning against tough matchup

Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is returning to a tough matchup, but after waiting four weeks for his return, Fantasy owners can't worry about that in Week 9 against the Dolphins.

You've been waiting too long for Johnson to get healthy to consider benching him at this point, even though the Dolphins have done a solid job slowing down wide receivers. Six receivers have topped double figures against the Dolphins this season, but they have held big names like Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Keenan Allen and Brandon LaFell to single figures in Fantasy scoring as well. Miami's defense is allowing the fifth-fewest Fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers overall.

Still, Johnson says he is nearly 100-percent healthy, and you can't risk leaving him on the bench. At this point in the season, you need to ride your best players when they are healthy, so get Johnson back into your lineup -- finally.
