BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson had high expectations entering the year. Unfortunately, the veteran wide receiver suffered a hamstring injury in Week 1 and missed four games. He is the WR66 for the season, averaging 7.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per contest. The former Toledo star has 30 receptions on 55 targets for 385 receiving yards and a touchdown this year.
After missing four games with the hamstring injury, Johnson was outstanding. He averaged 6.7 receptions on 9.7 targets for 84.7 receiving yards and 13.8 fantasy points per game in his first three contests back from the injury. Unfortunately, the veteran wide receiver has struggled over the past few weeks.
Johnson has been the WR76 over the past three weeks, averaging only 3.9 fantasy points per game, totaling 2.6 or fewer in those of those matchups. While the Pittsburgh passing attack has struggled this season, fantasy players should still start the veteran wide receiver in Week 13.
The Steelers face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Arizona has surrendered 28.7 fantasy points per game to wide receivers, slightly above the league average. However, they've given up 214 receiving yards and 33.4 fantasy points per game to wide receivers over their past two contests.
