Who Should I Start? Diontae Johnson or George Pickens

Free-agent wide receiver Diontae Johnson is working out with the New York Giants on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Johnson was with the Cleveland Browns during training camp and the preseason, but he was cut before the start of the regular season and hasn't joined a team since. The 29-year-old former third-rounder by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019 out of Toledo spent time with the Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens, and Houston Texans last year, catching a combined 33 passes on 67 targets for 375 yards and three touchdowns. The vast majority of his production came in Carolina, as he caught just three passes for 18 yards in five games with Baltimore and Houston to close out the year. It's been a notable fall for Johnson over the last year-plus, and if he were to sign with the G-Men, he'd merely be battling for a chance to join the active 53-man roster as receiver depth.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens continued his strong first season with the team in Monday night's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, catching nine of his 11 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown. Pickens and fellow star wideout CeeDee Lamb both sat out the first offensive series of the game due to a coach's decision, but it didn't prevent them from having big games, especially Pickens. The former Pittsburgh Steeler tied a season high in catches and had his third game with at least 130 yards receiving, which is now the most in the league among wide receivers after Monday night. While both Cowboys wideouts have been great, Pickens has outproduced Lamb since he returned in Week 7, with 383 receiving yards to Lamb's 335. He will continue to rank as a strong WR1 moving forward in Dallas' high-powered offense.
