Diontae Johnson Says He'll Return In Week 7

one year ago

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) said he will play in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams after the team's Week 6 bye. The 27-year-old has missed the last four games on Injured Reserve, so he will be eligible to return. It's too early to take his word on it and fantasy managers don't need to worry about it yet anyway, but it's a good sign for his upcoming availability. Johnson caught three passes for 48 yards in Week 1 before exiting early. When he returns, he'll have low-end flex appeal in PPR leagues, but his upside is likely to be capped as a part of one of the worst offenses in the NFL.
