No one ever tries to set records that will live in infamy, but Diontae Joshnson did just that last season as he set the NFL record for most receptions in a season (86) without scoring a single touchdown. Such a fluky season hasn't been seen in the NFL since 1961, when Hall of Famer Raymond Berry failed to score on 75 receptions. But as miserable as it was for Johnson himself, imagine the weekly agony fantasy owners endured. Unfortunately, I was one of them. Despite monster target numbers, Johnson simply couldn't get much going with the inconsistency at quarterback. He also didn't help himself or his team by continuing to be plagued by inopportune drops. While 2022 will likely go down as a statistical aberration, and Johnson is sure to have some positive regression in the touchdown department, I can envision a world where 2nd year man George Pickens becomes the alpha in this pass offense. Johnson worked the field perfectly under an offense built on the short pass, but those days have come to an end. The addition of Allen Robinson, and the healthy return of 2022 4th round speedster Calvin Austin, means Johnson's path to another 147-target season could be filled with roadblocks.

 Diontae Johnson activated, Freiermuth placed on IR
Steelers gain one weapon, lose another
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Oct 21, 8:48 am
|  | Steelers activated WR Diontae Johnson from injured reserve to the active roster and placed TE Pat Freiermuth on injured reserve. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Johnson hasn't played since injuring his hamstring in Week 1. It's likely he would've played last week but the Steelers were on a bye. He'll return to the starting lineup opposite George Pickens and face a Rams defense that's given up just touchdowns to opposing WRs.
| Pat Freiermuth won't play in Week 7, hamstring injury
Aggravated injury in practice Thursday
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 20, 11:17 am
| | #Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth is expected to miss Sunday’s game against the #Rams and likely will be sidelined longer after aggravating his hamstring in practice Thursday, per sources.
Freiermuth had an MRI this morning, and now his return to action is on hold. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Freiermuth last played in Week 4 and it sounds like he's not close to returning. Darnell Washington and Conner Heyward will handle tight end duties in the meantime but neither are viable fantasy starters. Expect WR Diontae Johnson to be activated off IR and play against the Rams.
| Diontae Johnson lands on IR, hamstring injury
Will miss the next four games
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Sep 18, 4:18 pm
| | The #Steelers placed WR Diontae Johnson on IR. He's out at least four games. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This seemed like the logical outcome as Johnson's injury seemed severe enough that he wasn't going to play anytime soon. The Steelers will head into their Monday night clash with the Browns with George Pickens, Allen Robinson and Calvin Austin as their top three wideouts.
| Diontae Johnson expected to miss multiple weeks, hamstring
Hamstring injury in Week 1
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Sep 12, 9:59 am
| | Steelers’ WR Diontae Johnson is expected to be sidelined “a few weeks” due to the hamstring injury he suffered Sunday vs. the 49ers, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Johnson is just one of many players bitten by the hamstring bug this season. The Steelers will move forward with George Pickens, Allen Robinson and Calvin Austin as their top three receivers. Robinson will likely move to the outside with Austin in the slot. Pittsburgh does have a bye in Week 6, so it may not be until Week 7 before Johnson returns.
