Diontae Johnson Expected To Be Out "A Few Weeks"

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined "a few weeks" with the right-hamstring injury that he suffered in the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, according to a source. If the Steelers put Johnson on Injured Reserve, he'd be forced to miss at least the next four games. The 27-year-old needs to be stashed in all fantasy leagues, as he'll be one of the team's top receiving targets when healthy. The biggest beneficiary will likely be George Pickens, but Allen Robinson II and tight end Pat Freiermuth should also benefit from more targets coming their way, starting next Monday night in a matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
