Diontae Johnson A Low-End WR2 In Week 5
4 years agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5. Johnson was knocked out of his team's Week 3 win over the Houston Texans and finished without a catch. He will slot back in as the team's lead wide receiver in a decent matchup against Philadelphia. The Eagles rank 16th in DVOA against the pass but Johnson is expected to draw plenty of coverage from shutdown corner Darius Slay in what should be a good battle between the two players. That being said, Johnson is leading the Steelers in targets through three games and should be able to post WR2 numbers despite Slay's presence.
