Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Diontae Johnson

Monday, September 25, 12:23 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught 8-of-12 targets for 111 yards in Week 3's 37-3 romp over the Washington Commanders. It was just another day at the office for the three-time Pro Bowler, who flaunted his route-running expertise all day on Sunday. Diggs was showered with targets, drawing 12 of them against an outclassed secondary while no other Bill saw greater than four on 32 Josh Allen pass attempts. The 29-year-old came loose on a broken play with Allen scrambling out of the pocket for a signature 30-yard catch to set the tone in the first quarter. He also helped pull Buffalo out of their own end zone on another 30-yarder during their first drive of the second half. Diggs later hauled in a 20-yard pass near the end of the third period to surpass the 100-yard threshold for the day. The superstar wideout will rate among Week 4's elite WR1 plays in a probable shootout with the white-hot Miami Dolphins.

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.
