Fantasy Impact

Johnson surprisingly saw just two targets against the Broncos in the previous week but he was back to his usual ways in leading the Steelers in targets in Week 6. Johnson heads into his bye in Week 7 with 34 catches for 376 yards and three touchdowns despite missing a game. He will face the Browns in Week 8 after the bye.

Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (knee) practiced in full on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson did not play in Week 3 and was limited in practice on Wednesday, so Thursday's upgrade in status is certainly good news. He falls into the WR2 category against the Packers and could even see an increased workload if JuJu Smith-Schuster (ribs) or Chase Claypool (hamstring) are unable to suit up.
