Factoid
Calvin Johnson is one of the guys we’re thinking about for the cover of Fantasy Football Index 2012. He looks like a really safe choice, and he had a super year last season.
His receiving numbers, in fact, come in at No. 4 on the all-time list. That’s if you use the scoring system of 6 points for touchdowns and 1 for every 10 receiving yards.
Lots of great receivers on this list.
