Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate's Post-Week 13 Fantasy Reaction

It's Thanksgiving, which means it's a great time to be a Calvin Johnson owner.

Megatron, as he does on an annual basis, had a feast on Turkey Day, scorching the Chicago Bear secondary early and often on his way to a massive performance.

NFL's Twitter feed provided a look at his first unreal touchdown of the day:

It was a big day all around for the Lions passing game:

Player	Com/Att	Yds	Avg	TD/Int	Fan Pts
Player	Tar	Rec	Yds	TD	Fan Pts
Matthew Stafford	34/45	390	8.7	2/0	23.6
Calvin Johnson	16	11	146	2	26.6
Golden Tate	10	8	89	0	8.9

Former Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons star tight end Tony Gonzalez put it best, via CBS' NFL Twitter feed:

Johnson has been a slight disappointment in recent weeks as he recovers from an injury, but he clearly remains one of the most unstoppable players on the planet. He's simply too talented to treat as anything other than a WR1 during the most important weeks of the season.

Matthew Stafford has been similarly underwhelming this season, especially considering where you probably drafted him, but as NFL Philosophy noted, his play Thursday was extremely encouraging:

Perhaps more importantly, his playoff outlook is bright.

In the next three weeks, the Lions face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings and the Bears once again. Stafford can be a low-end QB1 during that stretch, especially if offensive linemen Riley Reiff and Larry Warford are back from injury.

Finally, Golden Tate continues to see a high volume of targets and clearly hasn't been completely hindered by Johnson's return. He's a mid-range WR2 with a significant boost in PPR formats.
