Diontae Johnson THREAD
Intro:
He is my Dynasty WR18
The only WRs that I believe are threats to surpass him in my personal ranks are Aiyuk and Higgins, who I have closely behind.
To lay it out, Diontae is
5'10 - 181lbs
24 years old

I'm not going to act like his drops didn't happen, but we can't all act like he cant reverse it.
We also can't expect the steelers to start the season 11-0 where they will be in a place to punish their receivers for drops.

A players' ability to separate is also a reflection of their QB and Oline giving them time to gain distance.
When I watched film, Diontae is one of my favourite players to watch get off the line of scrimmage and shake defenders early. So I had to check his metrics on separation.

Target separation 2020 = 1.19 meters (96th)
I was shocked at this to then look at his 2019 numbers of 2.39 meters of separations (1st) ... FIRST.
As a rookie he led the league in separation. So, I turned to Big Ben...

Big Ben 2020:
22nd in catchable pass %
32nd in yds per att
21nd in accuracy rating
TIME TO THROW 2.3 seconds (1st).. Quickest trigger in league this season, and inaccurate..
Yikes... inaccurate and no time to truly separate... and were completely blaming Diontae for drops..?

Juju leaving vacates 128 targets and 9TDs
Even if Diontae doesn't increase in targets/game, he shouldn't see less.
Yes they will probably have a heavier run game, but Diontae should have another 140+ targets.
He had 7 TDs in 2020 which I believe is very repeatable.

Diontae finished as the WR 21 in PPR, missing 2.5 games and being benched/punished in another.
Claypool should demand the big, physical defenders, and if things come together & Diontae plays 16 full games, he should be a top 18 WR on a yearly basis, and thus my WR18 in dynasty.
