Or would fantasy managers be best served to look elsewhere in the all-important Week 14? Here’s what we know.

What the Experts Are Saying

Johnson has been listed as questionable (hip) after two limited practices and a DNP this week. Johnson has been the model of hollow volume this season. He is 16th in target share and 26th in air yard share, yet he’s 73rd in fantasy points per route run and 97th in fantasy points per target. The Steelers have force-fed him volume for weeks with nothing to show for it. Johnson is 14th in deep targets and ninth in red zone targets among wide receivers. He’ll run about 88% of his routes against Humphrey and Peters as a WR4.
