News: Pittsburgh fullback Will Johnson came down with a few receptions in the Week 15 game at Dallas Sunday. Johnson caught two passes for 34 yards and had a long grab of 21 yards in the game. He did not score for the Steelers.
Analysis: Johnson is becoming more of an option in the passing game for the Steelers but has yet to score or top eight Fantasy points in any game this season. He'll see a few grabs for Pittsburgh but isn't a recommended Fantasy option for Week 16 against the Bengals.
News: Pittsburgh running back Will Johnson got into the act in the Week 8 win over the Redskins. Johnson scored his first career touchdown on a 1-yard pass from Ben Roethlisberger in the third quarter. Johnson finished the game with two catches for 8 yards for the Steelers, who inflicted their offensive will on the Redskins all game.
Analysis: Johnson only has six catches all season and scored his first career touchdown against the Redskins Sunday. The West Virginia product certainly made his presence felt against Washington, who has had trouble defending the pass in short-yardage situations. Johnson scored his first TD Sunday, but isn't expected to see a major increase in offensive production all of a sudden. He is not a recommended Fantasy option for Week 9 at the Giants.
