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.

Tee Higgins News

Tee Higgins Looks Better in Redraft Than Dynasty

Friday, July 24, 11:12 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins remains one of the league's better touchdown bets, but his value is not identical across formats. He caught 59 passes for 846 yards and a career-high 11 scores on 98 targets last season, giving him 21 touchdowns over his last 27 games. That is the appeal. The catches are less secure. Ja'Marr Chase still owns the top spot in Cincinnati, and Higgins has missed 12 games over the past three seasons. RotoBaller ranks him WR13 for PPR redraft but WR27 in dynasty, a gap that makes sense. He can still return low-end WR1 numbers when Joe Burrow and the Bengals' passing game are healthy, which keeps him attractive near the third round. Dynasty contenders can buy at a fair WR2 price. Rebuilders should be more willing to sell after another touchdown-heavy season rather than count on his market value climbing much higher.
