#3 Diontae Johnson WR/ Pittsburgh Steelers ADP: 5.12

I am so mad I wasn’t working for FanSided last season when I was screaming that Diontae Johnson was going to be an absolute fantasy football stud.

But, I wasn’t and I just have to make peace with that level of pain and hurt that now I am just another fantasy football writer falling in love with the talent in the Steel City.  Drops don’t scare me, size doesn’t scare me, Johnson is going to be a stud.

If he can avoid injury he is going to be a monster.  Look for him to put up a stat line that looks something like 100rec, 1,300 yards, and 10TD.  Yup, I am that high on him.  He has the potential to finish the year as the #1 WR and I wouldn’t be shocked at all.  Look for an Antonio Brown-like jump from him and prepare for your friends to curse you for getting him so late.

Obviously, since there are guys who have actually done it, I don’t advise a 1st or 2nd round pick on Diontae, but a 3rd?  I can get on board with that.  4th? Wow, you got a steal.  5th?! I don’t believe he will end with this ADP after the coverage he is getting.  The man is going to be elite, though, so pick him high and let him fly.

Honorable Mentions: Brandon Aiyuk (6.07), DJ Moore (6.06), Corey Davis (10.04)

Another list down, another group of players that could make or break your season.  I am strong in my takes and I stand by them.  If I am wrong, I’ll own it, but when I am right…well I’ll say I told you so.  Once again, have fun, have a great time playing a game so many of us love, and make the right moves.  Until next time.
