Diontae Johnson had offseason sports hernia surgery, very close to a return

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson sustained a groin injury during Week 2 last season and had offseason sports hernia surgery, he told reporters Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson hasn’t received full clearance yet to begin training, but he told reporters that he’ll get it “in the next couple days.” The second-year WR is primed to make a splash this season working with QB Ben Roethlisberger. Johnson had a great rookie season with subpar quarterback play, catching 59 balls for 680 yards and five TDs on 92 targets. While currently ranked as the #47 WR in FantasyPros expert consensus rankings, Johnson has been identified by many in the fantasy industry as a break-out candidate for the upcoming season. Target him as a potential fringe-WR3.
