His yards per catch was starkly better than fellow rookie Christian Kirk averaged, and Kirk is currently going in the seventh. This all has somehow added up to Johnson being drafted at around a tenth round pick. Johnson also averaged 11.5 yards per catch. Start your week with 67 seconds of Diontae Johnson making defenders miss /a9Od2pPdPfĪs a rookie on a team fighting for a playoff spot and with the very shaky quarterback play, Johnson was still able to notch 59 catches for 680 yards and five touchdowns. Having guys who are shifty enough to get open when the play breaks down– and are able to do get yards after the catch– is vital to the Steelers success under Roethlisberger. Before his injury, “Big Ben” was at his best when he was improvising. If you throw in the fact that Robinson is heading towards unrestricted free agency, he definitely fits the profile of a player who is primed for a career year.īlessed with some of the most amazing juking ability in the league, Diontae Johnson was made for Ben Roethlisberger. Foles familiarity within the offense–he has spent time with coach Nagy, offensive coordinator Bill Lazor and new QB coach John Defilippo- and a proven track record as a super bowl winning QB, can only be good things when it comes to the continued development of Robinson. He did all of this with the below average play of Mitchell Trubisky at quarterback, and while Trubisky might still be there, most expect Nick Foles to be the starting quarterback come week one. After signing a three-year deal with Chicago before the 2018 season, he put together a 754 receiving yard season in 2018 before turning on the burners and getting another 1,147 yards in 2019. After an injury ruined his 2017 season in Jacksonville, Robinson has been steadily rising in the minds of fantasy players. All the more incentive for him to ball out in 2020.Īnother player that is being drafted in the fifth round and seemingly getting no respect is Allen Robinson. Jacksonville does not have a fifth-year option available to Chark, making him just two seasons away from free agency. This is when most guys take off, especially one’s who were not drafted in the first round. The addition of Jay Gruden–who got an aging Pierre Garcon over 100 targets in three straight years– should also pay big dividends in what will only be Chark’s third season in the NFL. Most expect Gardner Minshew to take (a small) step forward this season, making Chark even more valuable. New Jags OC Jay Gruden has already mentioned he plans to continue lining up his number-one WR all over the formation, slot included ECR is currently WR23 /2friu82N9b 23-year-old DJ Chark went over 1,000 yards and scored 8 TDs on just 118 targets last year
