Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (toe) is active for tonight’s game against Vegas. Johnson missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he’s healthy enough to play alongside a returning Kenny Pickett (concussion). We project Johnson in WR3 range.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (toe) didn't practice again on Thursday and is now listed as questionable for Week 16 vs. Raiders. This is certainly not great news for a player who opened the week with limited participation. It's not looking great for his availability for Saturday's game. With kickoff set for primetime at night, it might be a good idea to make other plans at WR.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (toe) did not practice on Wednesday after logging a limited practice the day before. This downward trend does not bode well for his availability for Saturday's Week 16 game vs. the Raiders. Let's see what happens tomorrow before any advice starts flying around. Stay tuned.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (toe) is listed as a limited practice on Tuesday’s injury report. Today will be a good indicator of his potential availability for Saturday’s Week 16 showdown against the Raiders. We’ll keep an eye out on this front.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson caught all 10 of his targets for 98 yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers. He drew 45.5% of QB Mitchell Trubisky's pass attempts, tallying 58.8% of the team's receptions and 54.7% of the yards. He was the only Steeler to catch more than 2 passes. WR George Pickens checked in next with 2 catches for 53 yards among 5 targets. WR Steven Sims was the only other Pittsburgh player to see more than 1 target. We'll see whether QB Kenny Pickett can make it back for Week 16.

Saints QB Andy Dalton threw for 151 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's narrow win over the Falcons. He found TE Juwan Johnson for each score, from 19 and 22 yards out. He ceded the remaining TD toss to Taysom Hill, in a game that saw New Orleans attempt only 19 passes. The Saints visit another soft run defense in Cleveland in Week 16. Then comes a Philly defense that rates weak vs. the run and league best against the pass. Don't get excited about Dalton as an option for your fantasy football playoffs.

Panthers S Xavier Woods (ankle) is active for today's game against the Steelers.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) isn’t listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He didn’t practice on Thursday but returned to a limited workout on Friday. Johnson went through the same routine last week before playing his usual role in the loss to Baltimore. We’re expecting the same in Sunday’s game vs. Carolina.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) did not practice on Thursday. He also sat out last Thursday before playing his usual role in the loss to the Ravens. We're expecting Johnson to be fine for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers, but check back tomorrow for another update on his status.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson remained allergic to the end zone in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. He did lead the team in targets (8), receptions (6) and receiving yards (82). TE Pat Freiermuth followed with 6 targets, catching 3 for 33 yards and a TD. WR George Pickens drew just 3 looks -- tied with 2 others for 4th -- but caught all 3 for 78 yards. Pittsburgh heads to Carolina in Week 15, likely without QB Kenny Pickett (concussion).

Eagles RB Miles Sanders racked up 144 yards and 2 TDs on 17 carries in Sunday's lopsided win over the Giants. His biggest strike came on a 40-yard scoring run in the 4th quarter, but Sanders would have averaged 6.5 yards per rush even without that play. He added 1 catch for 11 yards on 3 targets. RB Boston Scott added a rushing TD late in the 4th quarter as well, to go with 33 yards on 6 carries. Sanders gets another favorable matchup with the Bears in Week 15.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen caught 7 of 8 targets for 65 yards and a TD in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He trailed Justin Jefferson's lead in receptions, tying TE T.J. Hockenson for 2nd on the team in targets and ranking 3rd in yardage. Hockenson managed a 6-77 receiving line. WR K.J. Osborn claimed the other TD catch to go with 5 catches for 38 yards on 5 targets.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) has been removed from the Week 14 injury report and will play vs. the Ravens on Sunday. He got in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday this week, so it's safe to assume that he won't be at 100% tomorrow. Johnson is a weak WR3 play.

Panthers S Xavier Woods (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. We'll check his status Sunday, but Woods is a low-level IDP option.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Ravens. He got in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday, so it’s safe to assume that he won’t be at 100% if he plays on Sunday. Johnson, of course, has been a major fantasy disappointment even when healthy this season.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) did not practice on Thursday. That follows a limited practice on Wednesday. We'll see if Johnson is able to practice on Friday and then how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Ravens.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders gained just 24 yards on 10 carries in Sunday's win over Tennessee, the league's toughest run D on the year. He did save his fantasy line with a 4th-quarter TD from 3 yards out. Sanders also caught both of his targets for 14 yards. RB Boston Scott carried 6 times for 16 yards and caught a pass for 5. RB Kenneth Gainwell added a 3-38 receiving line on 4 targets and 3 carries for 15 yards. The Philly backfield gets a better matchup with the Giants in Week 14.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson racked up 11 targets among 28 Kenny Pickett pass attempts in Sunday's win over the Falcons. That marked a 39.3% target share, in a game that saw no other Steeler top 5 looks. TE Pat Freiermuth finished 2nd, catching 3 of 5 targets for 76 yards. RB Jaylen Warren was the only other Pittsburgh player to catch more than 1 pass. WRs George Pickens and Steven Sims matched Warren at 2 targets. Pickens caught just 1 ball for 2 yards. Next for Pittsburgh comes the season's 1st matchup with the Ravens, who have been playing the run tougher than the pass.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders racked up 143 yards and 2 TDs on 21 carries in Sunday night's win over the Packers. He and QB Jalen Hurts (157 rushing yards) powered a 363-yard rushing performance for Philadelphia. Sanders added 3 receptions for 17 yards on 3 targets. RB Kenneth Gainwell added a rushing TD among 8 carries for 39 yards. Week 13 holds a much tougher rushing matchup with a Titans defense that has been toughest in the league on RBs.

Panthers WR Terrace Marshall (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. He’s not a recommended fantasy play against the league’s 4th-ranked WR defense.
