Detroit Lions RB Ty Johnson on Saturday, Nov. 16, officially cleared the concussion protocol and has been removed from the team's Week 11 injury report.
Huddle Up: Good news for Johnson owners, but hopefully it's in a large league with J.D. McKissic and Paul Perkins also sharing snaps, carries and touches. Proceed with caution.

Detroit Lions RB Ty Johnson (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 15, but is listed as questionable for the game.
Huddle Up: Johnson likely will play if he is cleared by the doctors, so fantasy players should monitor the situation. He has not rushed for more than 30 yards in any game this season and probably can be benched if players have better options.

Detroit Lions RB Ty Johnson (concussion) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 14.

Detroit Lions RB Ty Johnson (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Huddle Up: Johnson has to pass the concussion tests before he is cleared to play, so fantasy players need to keep an eye on the situation. He can be a flex option if he is available to play. Paul Perkins and J.D. McKissic would split playing time if Johnson is ruled out and could both be possible flex options depending on the leagues.

Updating a previous report, Detroit Lions RB Ty Johnson (head) will not return to the Week 10 game because of a head injury.
Huddle Up: Johnson likely suffered a concussion and will need to go through the concussion protocol before he is allowed to play again. J.D. McKissic and Paul Perkins likely will split playing time in Week 11 if Johnson is not able to play. McKissic can be a flex option in point-per-reception leagues, while Perkins could have some value in standard leagues.

Detroit Lions RB Ty Johnson (head) left the Week 10 game early and is being evaluated for a concussion.
Huddle Up: Johnson is part of a committee at running back for the Lions, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation. J.D. McKissic and Paul Perkins would handle the running back work if Johnson misses time and could be flex options in some leagues.

Detroit Lions RB Ty Johnson rushed nine times for 29 yards and caught all three of his targets for seven yards in a 31-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Johnson led the Lions in rushing attempts, but he wasn't able to do much with his touches. Johnson has failed to provide much impact since Kerryon Johnson went down with an injury, and while he may be the starter in Detroit, he isn't worth starting in fantasy leagues.

Detroit Lions RB Ty Johnson rushed for 25 yards on seven carries against the New York Giants in Week 8. He also caught one pass for 13 yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Johnson was in line for starting job because of Kerryon Johnson's injury but was part of a committee at running back this week. Fantasy players can keep him on their roster, but he is not a starting option at this point.

Detroit Lions RB Ty Johnson said he is feeling 'pretty comfortable' as he assumes more of a workload in his rookie season. 'It's just that the game's starting to slow down a little bit,' Johnson told the Detroit Free Press. 'Because being a rookie it's all fast when you first get in and being able to slow things down mentally, what the defenses, are doing and having coaches and guys like Kerryon (Johnson) and J.D. (McKissic) in my ear talking about certain fronts or certain pressures or whatever block schemes we have for the run game. Just having those guys in my ear at all times has been a big help.'
Huddle Up: Ty Johnson received the bulk of the touches (14) with Kerryon Johnson going down with a knee injury and is expected to be the Lions' primary back going forward with McKissic also seeing his share of work. Johnson is a low-end RB2 in Week vs. the Giants.
