Ravens WR Diontae Johnson played just five snaps and ran three pass routes in the Week 10 win over the Bengals. His playing time was actually down from his Week 9 Ravens debut (17 snaps, six routes). Johnson was at least targeted on two of his three routes against Cincinnati. He caught the first for six yards; the second fell incomplete after Johnson stumbled trying to work downfield.
We're assuming the reduction in playing time for Johnson was a result of the Ravens being on a short week. He'll now have some extra time to settle into the offense ahead of Week 11's game against the Steelers.
Expect Johnson to be on the field more for that one. But he'll need to be on the field a lot more before we can even consider putting him back in fantasy lineups.
If you own Johnson, it probably doesn't make sense to trade him away at this point. But we also wouldn't consider him a buy. Baltimore's offense is humming, and it's possible that Johnson never captures a big enough role to be a reliable fantasy play the rest of the season.
