He made it through a game (for the most part) and was quite productive. How about two in a row?

And even before yesterday when he had not played in almost 60% of their games and was 2 targets from the team lead entering the game yesterday should have been a pretty good sign to people his place in the pecking order was secure but you'd sure not know that by reading this thread.
QB's love WR's who can get open consistently and quickly and when you can do that and have strong YAC skills it's a recipe for success, his breakout was an easy call he just had some unfortunate injuries.

I've started Johnson twice this year, gotten 1.7 total points. That scared me into Claypool over Johnson this week, got 0.8.
I guess I'm back to Johnson this week. Beware, I have no idea what I'm doing.

I've done exactly the same, although I think I started Diontae in week 2 at least. Fantasy is great.

Offered Julio for DJ and a 2021 mid-2nd in a dynasty empire. I've enjoyed the ride, but thinking I might need to consider cashing in the chips.
Hopefully you're out of contention this year, otherwise I fear you're throwing in the towel for the season.

Sorry, I worded that poorly. I was offered Julio in exchange for Johnson and what should be a mid/late 2nd. I mention this because the offer came from a very credible owner at the top of the standings. It gives some context just how high Johnson's stock has climbed. This wasn't an automatic for me, but I ultimately decided to take Ju-Jones and run. Empire league, so over/under for its lifespan is 3.5 years. My WR stable probably had a brighter future than present due to all of the early season injuries. I'd be lying if I said that the early injury exits didn't have me a little spooked off. With that said, DJ and Julio will be two ships passing in the night in the near future if he keeps getting peppered with 15 targets and can stay on the field.

Seems like Johnson is going to be iffy to play most weeks if not every week. There are many of those players and many of us have a few of them on our rosters. Makes setting line ups just a bit more challenging.

The guy is in his 2nd year in a violent contact sport, let's relax and pump the brakes a bit for now and see how this evolves.

Nah bro. He's been hurt his entire career. I mean we're looking at a 23 game sample where he's been banged up and we're looking at game 24 where he's.........banged up.
He's still a low end WR2 or high end WR3 so he's been a nice hit considering his cost. In order to make a leap into top 15ish territory he'd have to consistently play 15-16 games "not banged up". Some posters itt think he can do it and others are highly skeptical. I'm in the skeptical group at this point.

About the worst thing that could happen for all of us is if JuJu takes a hometown discount to stay in Pittsburgh which he has apparently said in the past that he’d consider because he loves the franchise and the town.Next year when JuJu is playing in DC or NY (he'll follow the money) Diontae and Claypool are going to both hit 2000 yards. New NFL record. You heard it here first

If Claypool continues to ascend and Ben peppers Diontae with double digit targets I doubt JuJu wants to come back to be the 3rd option...could be wrong, but betting he'd rather be higher on the food chain and make more money elsewhere....

I used to think this but Diontae Johnson is crushing when JuJu is playing. He's already passed him.

Sigh, I can't stand this guy.

Yeah I may have to admit that he’s a tad bit injury prone lol.

For two years pretty sure every time I play him he gets hurt.

He has to go to the bench. I got lucky and got good points last week. This continued injury risk and 0 point games are killers.

I could have gone with Corey Davis...

There he is! One catch for six yards. Got us in the scorebook after all.

I love when people are on top of their teams. My dynasty opponent WOULD NOT TRADE NEVER for a QB this week even though his only viable one is on bye.
So, I likely win. Problem is, his refusal just makes it easier for him to tank and beat me out for non-playoff seeding (the low kind).
