Fantasy Impact:

Fortunate for Steelers fans that Johnson did not suffer any kind of injury but instead left for manageable reasons. Johnson, a one-time Pro Bowler, is entering his fifth NFL season off an 882-yard, no-TDs campaign. With the ascension of QB Kenny Pickett, Johnson will likely regress back to the mean, meaning a better season than 2022 is coming up soon. He can be drafted at a half-PPR price of WR34, according to FantasyPros’ ADP data.
