Steelers' Diontae Johnson (back) available for Week 7 clash with Titans
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (back) is available for Week 7's game against the Tennessee Titans.
What It Means:
Johnson practiced in full for the entire week and will make his return from a back injury that sidelined him for most of Week 5 and all of Week 6. The Steelers will have Johnson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Chase Claypool, and James Washington active this Sunday. They will face a Titans defense ranked 27th against wide receivers in numberFire's advanced stats. Our models expect Johnson to see 6.7 targets in Week 7.
The Steelers are 1.5-point underdogs against the Titans in Week 7. Their implied team total of 24.5 points is the tenth-lowest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map. Johnson's projection includes 4.3 receptions, 44.5 yards, 0.32 touchdowns, and 8.6 FanDuel points. His salary is $5,800, and he is the WR44 in our weekly rankings.
