No, Roy Williams is playing pretty good, Shaun McDonald has stepped up pretty big, and Mike Furrey is getting balls thrown to him. The Lions are spreading the ball and for a rookie 402 yards thus far isn't bad and there are 5 more games to go. Not every rookie WR can step up and ball. If Johnson ends up with 700 yards and 5 TDs that's a pretty good first season if you ask me.

In their first seasons:
Jerry Rice - 927 yards and 3 TDs.
TO - 520 yards and 3 TDs.
Marvin Harrison - 836 yards and 8 TDs.
Reggie Wyne - 345 yards and 0 TDs.
...and so on, and so on.

You won't find too many WR who tore it up in their first season in the NFL (Randy Moss seems to be the lone exception I can recall). If Johnson works hard in the upcoming off-season he is going to destroy DBs (ala jump ball football).
