The Facts:
Johnson, a 10-year veteran, still rates among the NFL’s premier wideouts – he started all 16 games in 2012, the first time that has occurred since 2009, and posted 112 catches – and there has been no real discernible drop-off. But some opponents suggest that Johnson has lost perhaps a half-step, and isn’t as explosive.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That's not especially shocking. Nor is it a huge secret. Johnson had only four touchdown catches last season, his fewest since 2002 in a season in which he played at least nine games. Meanwhile, they selected DeAndre Hopkins in the first round most likely as their No. 1 receiver of the future. Still, Johnson couldn't be happier. Fantasy owners should be equally pleased. It seems safe to assume that Hopkins will threaten opposing defenses to a greater degree than former No. 2 Kevin Walter. And based on last year's overall production, Johnson still has enough left in the tank to produce at an elite level, especially with a viable complementary weapon.
