WR Diontae Johnson, CAR (5 Viewers)

[Ilov80s]

Target hog

Would not at all surprise me if he scores TDs in like the next 5 games or something and it all starts to just even back out.

Steelers' Diontae Johnson addresses overall frustration, criticism of Kenny Pickett after Browns loss

 

[fatness]

“Then there was Johnson getting visibly upset on the sidelines during the second half Sunday, which was significant enough that rookie offensive tackle Broderick Jones had to pick him up and carry him away from a member of the coaching staff. That led to a lengthy sideline talk between Johnson and coach Mike Tomlin during the give-and-take moment.”

I thought this guy would be a good PPR asset coming back from his injury. Now he might be a drop candidate. Depends on the alternatives, ymmv.

 

[BearsFan4Life]

Feeling like it is time to sell Johnson in dynasty.. is selling him for a early to mid 2nd selling to low? He is not a part of my lineup at all.

 

[packer_junkie]

I think thats too low-- could see him lead an actual good rookie QB next year.

 

[metoo]

A few weeks ago I moved him for Reed and a couple of 2024 3rds.

Does Pitt move on from Tomlin and Pickett at the end of the year?

I have had DJohnson on the trade block in 14 team league and best offer I got is an early 2nd. No one is chomping at the bit to acquire him, but people will gladly take picks in our league for players. So wondering if its better to just acquire another 2nd and package 2 2's and Higgins for a better wr.

am i missing something here, why would they move on from Tomlin? Pickett is not good, can't see him being the starter next year.

I am not saying they do, but have read places where people have wondered whether or not it is time. Does another rookie help DJohnson? He is my 5th/6th WR

Sources: Steelers stars got into 'heated' spat

Diontae Johnson got into a "heated" argument with Minkah Fitzpatrick in the Steelers' locker room before Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt broke up the altercation, sources told ESPN.

I will never have this dude on my team. Just dropped a TD reception (and whined like a little boy) then the next play, did not play through the fumble but instead was looking to complain to a ref while the Bengals were returning the fumble. Fraud.

 

[JohnnyU]

Steelers should have challenged. They would have won.

 

[Ilov80s]

Agree, looked like a clear TD

 

[Ilov80s]

The Steelers sure are good at finding really good WRs who also happen to have all kinds of issues

I would bench him after that.

 

[Acrobat7]

Can you cut someone mid-game? I am so sick and tired of this guy.

Holy crap. I missed that. I mean, the Steelers can't put him back in the game, can they? Giving up like that has to have some penalties.

 

[FarFromHome]

You u gotta know how to take plays off. We understand it happens. If he puts his hands up like it's a possible wr screen then this conversation isn't happening. Just put your hands up man.

any maybe take a stab at a loose ball rolling 2 feet beside him

 

[irish eyes]

He's playing himself out of the league. Just another cry baby. Steelers seem to attract these idiots.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson owns up for effort on fumble vs. Bengals: 'It won't happen again'

What about the fumble he ignored

 

[belljr]

It was the play after he "dropped" the TD so its a double whammy ... still sulking after that play

 

[WaltonGoggins]

Thinking about swapping him in for Lockett I can see with all the heat him having a big game this Sunday.

 

[JohnnyU]

What is it with Steeler WRs?

 

[tkrull1]

Seattle doesn't look right, at Dallas, I'd sit Lockett for Johnson regardless of the heat.

 

[JohnnyU]

I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw him, but I get the desperate.

 

[FarFromHome]

Prolly gonna be my Olave replacement. Hopefully just for one week.

What are the expectations for TNF vs NE?
Trubisky isn’t good but seemed to have a connection with DJ.

 

[Zow]

Trubisky isn’t good but seemed to have a connection with DJ.

I'm thinking ~5 catches and 50-60 yds.

He probably has the best odds of any WR to score in the game.

In short, serviceable floor in PPR for sure but low ceiling. WR3.

NOTE: I don't own him in any league. I'm reviewing this thread because I need to start decide whether to start Warren and/or Harris in a couple of leagues where my playoff hopes are on the line and thought maybe this thread bump suggested something about DJ which could impact Warren.

Thanks. I’m stuck between him and Garrett Wilson (now with more Wilsons!)

Eesh. My two cents is that is you're a favorite or even odds you go DJ. If you're a big underdog then swing for the HR with Wilson.

 

[WaltonGoggins]

Third straight solid game with TD. I had the bye week but will be tough keeping him on my bench going forward.

I think I’m playing him over Ekeler.

 

[FarFromHome]

3 straight with a td. Pickens drama is wel known. Backup QB. Home game. Anyone got splits on his numbers with Rudolph?

 

[Mongidig]

Is Pickens in the dog house? I don’t know who to play between Ridley if Lawrence doesn’t play or D Johnson If It seems Pickens might be benched.

Rudolph was his QB the majority of both of their rookie seasons. That was awhile ago, stands to reason both are improved but Diontae had some solid games, just not consistent.

I think they've had two games together since their rookie seasons. One of those games was the season finale in their second season, 2020. Dionta went 4/3/96/0. The other game was against the Lions in 2021. Rudolph attempted 50 passes that day with 13 going Diontae's way and he finished 7/83/0. Basically typical Diontae games.

Pickens isnt getting benched.

That said, Rudolph at QB should be a massive "avoid" for all Steeler skill guys. Dude is good at one thing: staring down first reads before throwing INTs.

The combo of Beathard and Ridley >>>> Rudolph and DJ

 

[ffmail4me]

Is he being disciplined??? He's barely been part of the game plan, a ton of drives he's not even been on the field, and I'm pretty sure he's not hurt. This is so frustrating....

 

[FarFromHome]

Glad I didn't start him over Javonte. I was close.

No clue, but it’s not good

Rudolph missed him several times

 

[Down Under]

I thought this guy would be a good ppr asset when he came back from injury, but he's barely been playable. I'm not sure why that is the case, but I probably won't be drafting him if he's in the same spot next year (with Pickett). Does anyone know his contract situation?

 

[RaidersAreOne]

lmao

I guess Pickens isn’t in the dog house.
