Should You Start or Sit Kaleb Johnson in Week 4?
Kaleb Johnson was technically active for the Steelers on Sunday, but he didn’t get on the field a week after his kickoff blunder that likely eliminated the slim chances that he’d work his way into any role at all down the stretch of this season.
I generally preach patience with rookies, especially at a position with the turnover that running back does, but there’s no need to tie up a roster spot in this fashion right now.
