Like many players on the Lions, Johnson is coming off of his best game of the season, as he totaled eight receptions, 93 receiving yards, and three receiving touchdowns. The Packers don’t have anyone that can top Johnson, as he had a solid game against the a few weeks ago. He totaled nine receptions and 81 yards in the win,as Matthew Stafford was targeting him frequently.
Johnson will be able to eclipse the 1,000-yard receiving mark in this game, as 79 receiving yards should be no problem.
Prediction: Nine receptions, 110 receiving yards, one receiving touchdown
