Diontae Johnson Bounces Back With 76 Yards In Week 17 Win

11 months ago

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught all four of his targets for 76 yards in a 30-23 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Although Johnson was once again outperformed by George Pickens, the 27-year-old managed a solid showing of his own and displayed some chemistry with quarterback Mason Rudolph. He was on the receiving end of Pittsburgh's biggest play of the contest, turning a short pass into a 42-yard gain that led to a Najee Harris rushing touchdown on the next play. With Rudolph under center, the Steelers are flashing some upside offensively, but volume is not necessarily guaranteed for Johnson. He'll continue to offer some appeal as a flex option in PPR formats against the Baltimore Ravens next week.
