Right, I think some who are not medical experts might have thought bleeding from the ear could be something even more serious. Bleeding from your ear because of a blow to the head and it not being the ear drum or a laceration sounds really scary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So if he plays, ARob would be in my lineup. While Daniel might offer the better chance to win, Mitch offers the better fantasy for ARob IMO. In the case of ARob vs. Johnson, if Mitch plays; start ARob. If Chase starts, flip a coin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

grateful zed 1,461 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Quote (RotoWire) Johnson (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Analysis: Johnson practiced fully all week, which puts him in line to play Sunday. He'll play a key role opposite fellow wideout James Washington this weekend, with JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion/knee) already having been ruled out on Friday's final Week 12 injury report. In that context, Johnson -- who caught two passes for 17 yards while logging 38 snaps before exiting Week 11's loss to the Browns -- appears to be in a good spot for a bounce-back effort, facing an 0-10 Cincinnati squad that has allowed an average of 258.1 passing yards per game.

Faust 5,000 Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Quote Diontae Johnson caught 6-of-8 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Pittsburgh's Week 14 win over the Cardinals. He was singlehandedly responsible for 14 of Pittsburgh's 23 points, slicing through several flailing arm tackles for an 85-yard punt return before hauling in a back-shoulder fade from Devlin Hodges to give the Steelers a 20-10 lead heading into the fourth quarter. He also turned a would-be-dead screen behind the line of scrimmage into a 14-yard gain solely by using his vision and athleticism to reverse the field. Johnson's 60 receiving yards were encouraging for his rest-of-season outlook, but he shouldn't be considered anything more than a WR4/5 once JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) returns.

The Frankman 3,280 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Quote Diontae Johnson caught 5-of-7 targets for 62 yards in Week 15 against Buffalo. He also fumbled a handoff from James Conner in the red-zone at the end of the first half. Johnson made up for that by opening the second half with a 31-yard catch and run. This was another solid game from Johnson coming off a 6/60/1 line last week. Depending on JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) status, Johnson will be on the FLEX radar for a Week 16 matchup with the Jets.

mjb03003 31 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I like this kid from a dynasty perspective, although I want to see how he's used with Juju healthy.

The Frankman 3,280 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Quote Diontae Johnson compiled eight catches for a team-high 81 yards and a touchdown on nine targets Sunday in Pittsburgh’s Week 16 loss to the Jets. Johnson gave the Steelers some momentum by snatching a game-tying touchdown pass from Mason Rudolph just before the half. He dusted Blessuan Austin, beating him down the sideline for an uncontested 29-yard score. The touchdown was his fifth of 2019, seventh-most among rookies. Johnson took his lumps early on but he's been much better down the stretch, supplying 60-plus yards in each of his last three games. The 13-2 Ravens host the Steelers in Week 17, though Pittsburgh will probably be getting Baltimore's B squad now that the Ravens have wrapped up homefield advantage in the AFC.

grateful zed 1,461 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Quote (RotoWire) Johnson caught four of seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens. Analysis: Although the rookie receiver failed to hit the century mark in a game, Johnson finished the 2019 season with a solid 59-680-5 line while playing in all 16 contests. With several players missing time due to injury Johnson led the team in catches and receiving touchdowns as well as targets (92). He also ran for 41 yards on four carries and led the league by averaging 12.4 yards per punt returns, including an 85-yard touchdown. Johnson has upside heading into the 2020 season, especially if Pittsburgh gets more consistent play at quarterback. 65-900-6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faust 5,000 Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Quote The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac reports Diontae Johnson is recovering from a sports-hernia operation. Johnson posted a picture of himself in the hospital a week ago. It was apparently for this fairly routine operation. It typically comes with a 4-6 week recovery timeline, but the Steelers won't push it during the offseason. Johnson could be limited in OTAs. With JuJu Smith-Schuster banged up, rookie Johnson finished second on the Steelers in yardage in 2019, catching at least four passes each of the final four games of the season. There's a real chance Johnson opens 2020 as the No. 2 receiver ahead of James Washington. SOURCE: Gerry Dulac on Twitter Feb 13, 2020, 6:10 PM ET Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't own him go get him now before everyone else figures it out. Not only do I agree but I'd say in redraft as well. I am a Steeler fan, JuJu is one of my favorite players in the league and I own him on a few dynasty teams so taking that for what it's worth when I say I legit don't know who the #1 WR on the team is right now. Again this not coming from a place of being down on JuJu. 2 minutes ago, Twenty-Four Eighty-Four said: What's his value if I was looking to aquire him? I picked him up for 2.5 last week in a PPR league. It's really a good time to buy right now for two reasons. One if your league has not drafted yet, you can probably get someone to fall in rookie love with a prospect. The other is Claypool addition might have irked some people on his value. That league I got him for 2.5 I offered it for him about a week before the NFL draft. They counted asking for 1.11 and throwing in Stills. Well I figured the Steelers would draft a WR and I knew a good chance with that pick at 49 and I also was counting on rookie fever so I said no and sure enough the trade got re-offered me to after they drafted Claypool. I picked him up in another league where I dealt Mike Evans for Cooper and Dionte as I'm a little worried about pairing of Brady with Evans. I posted that trade in the trade thread and a few replies said they would prefer Cooper straight up to Evans(since both teams added Gronk and Lamb so opinions might have changed). But for me I would absolutely not have traded Evans straight up for Cooper, concerns over Brady or not. What seemed like a throw in, Diontae, was actually the impetus for the trade offer. I wanted to find a way to add him, had no picks from round 2-5. But when I made the trade I looked first to see who had Diontae and then worked on what I'd want them to add to him to get Evans from me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where I trust the Steeler's when it comes to drafting WR's I feel the opposite on QB's. In the past 50 years they've hit on Big Ben and Bradshaw, next best two they have drafted in that 50 year span was O'Donnell and Kordell. This team, IMO, went over 20 years between franchise QB's. They passed Dan Marino. Best QB they drafted since taking Ben in 2004 was........I don't know, none of them were any good. We can wipe that away by saying they did not commit premium picks to QB, with the highest being a third. That's fair but I've read multiple reports they had a first round grade on Rudolph and still remain determined with him to the extent they would not even mess with Winston. I'm in the Rudolph is awful camp, and it's all part of why my trust level in this team to properly identify QB talent concerns me. That's my biggest worry with Diontae. I agree JuJu is likely gone after this year, writing is on the wall. I'm just thinking him or his fantasy owners might be the lucky ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
