Diontae Johnson is great, but personally, I feel like it’s difficult to gauge Steelers WRs, and Johnson comes up injured pretty often. If you were going to try to add at another position I think he’d be a movable piece.
I feel like this is a good trade though. Who knows how Brown is going to end up in TB, and you know Amari is going to be option one in Dallas no matter the QB.
I disagree on the analysis of Diontae. He has 10+ targets in 5 of 9 games this year he has played and two of those games he left early with injury. It really all comes down to health for him but if he is playing he is getting the targets and and has been Big Ben’s number 1. Obviously health is sketchy but if he stays out there he stays in your lineup. The offense is too high powered to avoid.
I think this all boils down to what you think the future will hold for the rushing/passing splits. Last couple weeks they’ve ran the ball only 12-18x. The RBs have been pretty uninvolved. Earlier in the season they ran closer to about 30x. Doesnt seem to be game script related either. they’ve been pretty ineffective on the ground the last two weeks.
Honestly can make a case starting Higgins over diontae… it’s always tricky to decide
Luckily this week it was a win win. Diontae is a beast but he could easily get forgotten like Mike Evans earlier in the year.
Mike Evans stock should increase as AB is taking coverage away from him
