Megatron may be an All-Universe wide receiver, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t susceptible to chinks in his armor. Whether it was his knee, his hand, his thigh, or whatever else, Johnson couldn’t help but play hurt for most of the 2009 season. He still had a handful of WR1-type games on the year, but toss on top of his injury woes that he was constantly TRIPLE-teamed and had a rookie QB throwing to him, and his mediocre season really shouldn’t surprise anyone. He was still a target-machine, as he made the league’s top-10 by averaging just over 9.7 targets/game, but the exaggerated harassment from multiple defenders and accuracy issues that come with a rookie QB were enough to keep his TD and reception totals lower than fantasy owners would have liked. On a personal note, he did have 14 receptions for 219 yards and 1 TD in 2 games against the Bears, so we’re sure he feels pretty good about that…
