Lions-Jets Betting Line: Week 4 Fantasy Value for Calvin Johnson

The Lions-Jets betting line had New York as a +1.5 home underdog.  Scroll down for all of this week’s NFL lines and Fantasy NFL value for Calvin Johnson.

60% of those betting this game were backing Detroit, which comes into this week claiming the league’s number two best defense. 

Coming into Sunday’s game, offensively, we have the best Fantasy wide receiver with Detroit’s Calvin Johnson, who should be able to take apart the Jets highly vulnerable secondary, which this season has permitted the 4th most fantasy points to opposing wideouts.  Last year, the Jets allowed the 6th most.  In other words, New York appears to be taking a step backwards this year.

That said, be careful of playing Johnson as he is questionable for Sunday’s game due to an ankle injury.  He has missed some practices this week as a result.

Fantasy owners need to be careful this week selecting an otherwise solid running back in Chris Ivory as Detroit boasts the sixth-stingiest defense to opposing fantasy backs.

As an aside note, we don’t quite know Detroit starting quarterback Matthew Stafford’s mindset following the collapse of a pedestrian bridge that stranded him enroute to practice Friday morning.  Stafford was forced to abandon his vehicle. 

"I think I got right up to it right around 5:50," Stafford said Friday afternoon. "It shocked me but it probably shocked some people that were right around it even more.”
