Olabisi Johnson Is A Risky Option Despite No. 2 Role
5 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Olabisi Johnson will be stepping in as the No. 2 receiver with Adam Thielen (hamstring) ruled out for Week 11. Johnson has only exceeded four targets once this season and hasn't topped 43 receiving yards despite the increased snap count with Thielen missing. The Broncos Defense has been tough on wide receivers this year, though Johnson will avoid shutdown corner Chris Harris as he'll be on Stefon Diggs. Johnson is a risky dart-throw as a WR5 considering the difficult matchup and likely limited volume.
