Diontae Johnson (hip) downgraded at Steelers practice
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hip) did not practice on Thursday.
What It Means:
Johnson was downgraded after being listed as limited on Wednesday, creating uncertainty about his status for Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens. George Pickens could be a target vacuum if Johnson is ruled out, and there would be more snaps available for Steven Sims, Gunner Olszewski, and Miles Boykin.
numberFire's models project Johnson for 8.1 targets, 5.0 receptions, and 50.2 yards on Sunday. The Ravens are allowing the eighth-most FanDuel points per game to wide receivers this season, but according to our nERD rankings, their pass defense is No. 13 in the NFL.
