Steelers face long-overdue reboot as Roethlisberger exits
The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing an eventful offseason following a second straight first-round playoff exitJANUARY 17, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Finds end zone in losing effort Johnson had five receptions on 10 targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Steelers.
Impact The 24-year-old finished first among all Pittsburgh receiving options in targets even with JuJu Smith-Schuster returning for Ben Roethlisberger's swan song. Johnson finished the regular season with team highs in receptions (107) and receiving yardage (1,161) while cashing in eight scores. He's established as the Steelers' No. 1 wideout, but the team's quarterback situation in 2022 will determine how much fantasy value Johnson will carry next season.
