Bills WR Steve Johnson probable to play versus Raiders
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson is yet another fantasy-relevant player with a groin injury this week (there seems to be a lot of them, no?). But it looks like he'll be good to go Sunday against the Oakland Raiders. Despite sitting out Thursday's practice, the rest has helped Johnson, who returned Friday and showed enough to be listed as probable on the Bills' official injury report. He is expected to play with no limitations.
Fantasy Analysis:
Johnson has been dealing with this injury since well before the season began, but it didn't seem to affect him too much last week as he recorded 66 yards and a touchdown against Kansas City. This week, he gets another beatable matchup in a Raiders defense that allowed Kyle Orton to throw for more than 300 yards last Monday. Johnson is a stellar WR2 this week, and I would rather start Ryan Fitzpatrick over the likes of Matt Ryan and Eli Manning.
