Makes acrobatic TD catch in win
Johnson brought in five of 10 targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' 23-16 win over the Bills on Sunday.
Impact
None of the Steelers' receivers posted what could be rightfully termed fantasy-friendly efforts against a stingy Bills secondary, but Johnson arguably came the closest thanks to his highlight-reel juggling touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter to give the Steelers a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Despite the leaving the game briefly in the first half due to what appeared to be a lower-body injury, Johnson unsurprisingly paced the team in receptions and targets as well -- a distinction he also often enjoyed last season. The third-year speedster will look to build on his serviceable start to the season in a favorable Week 2 home battle against the Raiders.

Surpasses 40 yards again
Johnson secured his lone target for 43 yards while recording one carry for no yards in Saturday's 26-20 preseason win over the Lions.
Impact
Johnson played 52 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Saturday, and he made the most of his lone target in the win. During the team's second possession, Ben Roethlisberger connected with Johnson on a 43-yard reception down the middle of the field on third down. The 2019 third-rounder has brought in all six of his targets during the preseason, and he's totaled 103 yards across the first three exhibition games.

Racks up 41 yards Thursday
Johnson brought in all three of his targets for 41 yards in Thursday's 24-16 preseason win over the Eagles.
Impact
Johnson was on the field for only 20 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Thursday, but he had a solid performance, highlighted by a 33-yard reception on the team's second drive of the game. The 2019 third-rounder has secured all five of his targets across the first two preseason games after he had 15 drops in 2020.

Pair of grabs in preseason opener
Johnson secured both his targets for 19 yards during the Steelers' 16-3 preseason win over the Cowboys in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.
Impact
After a 2020 season in which he was charged with 15 drops, Johnson encouraging got his first official on-field action of the 2021 campaign on the right foot by securing both passes thrown his way. Johnson logged a whopping 144 targets a year ago in 15 games, and despite the somewhat surprising return of JuJu Smith-Schuster on a one-year deal this offseason, the third-year pro should still serve as Pittsburgh's most explosive and prolific fantasy asset at wideout.
