Steelers WR Diontae Johnson "good to go" for Week 1

Diontae Johnson told reporters that he was a full participant in practice today and will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Related Players: Chase Claypool, George Pickens

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like Johnson's shoulder injury is clearing up at just the right time. Still, he'll be welcomed back into a questionable offensive situation with Mitch Trubisky manning the helm at quarterback. Johnson figures to be a WR2 option this year, with far fewer double-digit target games than he had last season.

Pickens has been "making play after play" throughout camp, running an expansive route tree, and showing no ill effects from his college ACL tear.

Related Players: Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool

Fantasy Impact:

George Pickens was presumed to come in and take over the Juju Smith-Schuster role in the offense, but if he is showing out this well in camp, he may be taking a bigger piece of the pie than first expected. The sourced article would finish with, "He is a polished route runner, he high points the ball with ease, his feet are quick and he shows late hands. He looked like a five-year veteran out there on Chuck Noll Field, and not even the most optimistic coach, player, fan, or media member could’ve predicted that."

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson calls George Pickens 'a freak'

Pro Football Talk

George Pickens’ fellow wideout Diontae Johnson added his voice to those singing Pickens’ praises on Monday. Johnson called Pickens “a freak” who is getting better every day that he takes the field.

Related players: Chase Claypool, Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett

Fantasy Impact:

Pickens has generated a lot of buzz in his first months as an NFL player and it doesn’t show any sign of slowing down with the regular season drawing closer by the day, the story said. We rank Johnson 17th among our WRs but we give Pickens a slight edge over Claypool at this point.
