Pittsburgh's Diontae Johnson (knee) ruled out for Week 3's game against Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (knee) will not play in Week 3's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Johnson will be inactive for Sunday's divisional showdown after suffering a knee injury during Week 2's loss. James Washington is on track to see more playing time while JuJu Smith-Schuster and Chase Claypool should ultimately see more volume against a Bengals' defense ranked 21st in FanDuel points allowed per game to wideouts this season.
Smith-Schuster's current Week 3 projection includes 5.6 receptions for 43.7 yards on 8.2 targets while Claypool's expectation includes 4.5 receptions for 57.8 yards on 7.3 targets.
