Stevie Johnson, WR, San Diego Chargers

Playing Steve Johnson depends a lot on the health of Antonio Gates, but Gates missed practice on Wednesday (he also missed Week 7). If Gates is out or expected to be on a snap limit, then Johnson makes too much sense not to recommend. The over/under is 50 points, the Chargers are the third-most pass-heavy team in the NFL, Baltimore is 18th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play, and they are 31st against fantasy receivers.

Johnson has seen eight targets in his past two games, as well. He's still worth a look if Gates goes, but without him, he's a prime candidate for solid production in Week 8.
