JuanSuarez 209 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 He could have a dud any week with the options Steelers have but you have to be really loaded at WR to bench this guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know you aren’t supposed to plan for injury but his history in the first half of the season has caused us all to think a bit more than we probably should. that said I’m firing him up for the reasons you stated. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not positive but think that was game he got injured towards beginning of game and then returned. So while he didn’t miss much time seemed like injury had impact. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlayTheWaivers 1,886 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Dude's a stud...he's definitely 1st on the pecking order here. Ben loves his "AB" outside guys and this guy fits the bill. Claypool / JuJu tie for 2a and 2b. All of a sudden, this offense is loaded. Couldn't get Big Ben shares, but Ben's gonna fall apart if they keep leaning on him like this. Hope Diontae can sustain WR2 value with WR1 upside any week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brosephd 1,303 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 [...] he's ppr gold with his targets as even if he doesn't catch td's. as long as he is healthy, his floor is like 10 points minimum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST. STEVEN 4,170 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I am feeling another week like last...Jags are now down top cover corner CJ Henderson, and the other perimeter corner Sidney Jones is very questionable for the game. Another matchup where both Claypool and DJ can simply eat up backup players. Yum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our starting cornerbacks will be Tre Herndon and 7th round pick Chris Claybrooks if Jones can't go. This could get very ugly quick.

EaglesRocker97 210 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 People were a bit surprised when i took him in the 6th round in our 14-teamer, except for our lone Steelers fan.. I maybe reached for him a round earlier than I would have wanted to. I even had several guys ranked above him that had more history to make them respectable options, but I ultimately looked at them all and saw them as older players in more volatile situations that made them arguably just as risky without the potential upside of a guy like Johnson. I decided to go with youth and speed playing on a top-5 scoring offense and a QB who can still sling it. I wanted to take my chances with the up and comer rather than settling for a guy who felt safer but who's production was unlikely to be much better than average even in ideal circumstances. When all things are generally equal in those middle rounds, I'll take the up-and-comer over a grisled vet or damaged goods, especially if the guy is in a premium situation. If he stays healthy the rest of the way, I'd feel pretty comfortable projecting Johnson somewhere around WR15-20 by season's end. That sounds like a steal to me. Also, 16 targets is a beautiful thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, 16 targets is a beautiful thing. Going into the draft either he was undervalued or Juju was overvalued. It seemed like a just about even bet between the two on which one would be more productive this year, with Juju having history of production with Ben and Diontae looking better last year. So why pick the one who has 4th round price tag when you can have the other one in round 7-8? Fortunately looks like we chose right. Similar to a dilemma between Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley. Last year they both scored nearly even while both healthy, but one went about 3 rounds earlier. Good value in both situations. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MBarbarian 968 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Targets last 5 weeks: 15, 3, 10, 11, and 16 yesterday. That 3 target week was at Baltimore. How are we feeling about rolling him out there this Thursday vs. Baltimore again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
