Who Should I Start? Diontae Johnson or Jerry Jeudy

Monday, September 18, 6:50 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) and running back Anthony McFarland Jr. (knee) on Injured Reserve on Monday and promoted running back Qadree Ollison from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster in a corresponding move. Johnson will now have to miss four games after injuring his hamstring in the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Pittsburgh also has a bye in Week 6, so the 27-year-old could return in Week 7 in a matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers should attempt to stash Johnson for now, as the 27-year-old should be heavily involved in the passing game once he's healthy again. In the meantime, George Pickens, Allen Robinson II and Calvin Austin III will be the team's three starting wideouts. Tight end Pat Freiermuth should also see an uptick in targets.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) is on the initial Week 4 injury report after being limited in practice on Wednesday with a knee injury. Jeudy missed the season opener due to a hamstring injury suffered late in training camp, but this knee issue is new and must be something he picked up in the embarrassing 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3, when he caught five of his seven targets for 81 yards. The knee injury doesn't appear to be very serious, so Jeudy should be fine for this Sunday's game against the winless Chicago Bears if he's able to return to a full practice later this week. Courtland Sutton has been quarterback Russell Wilson's go-to target through three weeks, but the 24-year-old Jeudy quietly had a very solid day last Sunday and could build on it this weekend in a great matchup against Chicago.
