Diontae Johnson Working Out With the Giants

Tuesday, October 28, 5:33 PM

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.

Rhamondre Stevenson's Receiving Skill Set Warrants RB3 Consideration

Saturday, October 3, 12:26 PM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson's pass-catching skill set should put him back on the fantasy radar for Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills. Stevenson hasn't been a productive fantasy option in the two games since TreVeyon Henderson returned to action, but that could change this week against Buffalo. Most notably, Stevenson's ability to excel in passing scenarios should match up nicely against the Bills' struggles against pass-catching running backs. In fact, the Bills have allowed the fourth-most catches, third-most receiving yards, and second-most receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2026. Stevenson, meanwhile, already has nine catches on 11 targets this year. The Patriots are projected for a negative game script against the Bills, so while there might not be a ton of rushing volume for Stevenson, he can get onto the RB3/flex radar in PPR leagues because of the anticipated high passing volume.
