BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Johnson continues to lead the way for the Steelers receiving corps, boasting a 26.2% team target share since his return from an injury in Week 7. Trouble is, those targets have been coming from Mitchell Trubisky in recent weeks. Even with Trubisky pulling the trigger, Johnson has now managed to find the end zone in back-to-back games, which has helped to salvage his fantasy production.

Pittsburgh travels to Indianapolis for a Week 15 Saturday matchup with the Colts. The Indy secondary has struggled at times this season and is allowing a chunky 8.18 yards per target to opposing receivers in 2023. However, with Trubisky under center, we can expect the Steelers to deploy a run-heavy scheme in this matchup. Johnson's expected volume makes him a fantasy starter, though it's tough to consider him more than a WR3 this week.
