Marquise Brown With Solid Effort In Week 4 Loss

Monday, October 2, 12:48 AM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown had seven receptions on 10 targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the 49ers. Brown was listed as questionable (thumb) heading into Sunday's game but was able to overcome the injury to help his team in Week 4. Even though he couldn't extend his three-game touchdown streak, Brown obtained season-highs in both receptions and yards. Through four games this year, Hollywood is averaging 5.3 receptions and 59.8 yards per game. He has become the de facto new No. 1 wideout for Arizona following the offseason trade of DeAndre Hopkins and will look to continue building rapport with quarterback Joshua Dobbs in Week 5 against Cincinnati.

Diontae Johnson Placed On Injured Reserve

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.
