Should You Start or Sit Diontae Johnson in Week 12?
Diontae Johnson saw a first-drive target last week, but he only saw one look the rest of the way against the Steelers and still hasn’t found his footing with Baltimore.
The veteran receiver might prove to be a viable option for a Ravens team that has their eyes on postseason success. Yet, asking Johnson to return to fantasy production in the short term is asking a lot.
Johnson has yet to play even 30% of the snaps since the trade, and in a run-centric offense like this, that role isn’t even remotely close to roster-worthy.
