Diontae Johnson set to return against the Los Angeles Rams

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense had lofty expectations as the hope was Kenny Pickett was going to take that next step in his second season. That hasn't materialized but in Week 7 he is set to get one of his key playmakers back.

Diontae Johnson suffered a hamstring injury back in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers and was placed on injured reserve. That move would cost him the next four weeks but he was designated to return this week and was a full participant every day in practice.

While the Steelers still have to activate him off the injured reserve, it seems like a foregone conclusion as he did not even have an injury designation on the Steelers' injury report. The fact that the injury does not seem like a concern, Johnson should get a full workload and is a high floor WR3 this week in PPR leagues.
