Diontae Johnson (thumb) returns to Steelers practice Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (thumb) returned to practice on Thursday for Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns.

What It Means:

Johnson was absent on Wednesday, but this puts him back on track to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup. He set season-lows across the board last week, with 4 targets, 1 catch, and 17 yards. The Steelers only attempted 23 passes and ran the ball 36 times.

Johnson is the WR37 in numberFire's Week 11 PPR rankings and our models project him for 7.8 FanDuel points, with 7.4 targets, 4.0 receptions, and 46.9 yards. The Browns are allowing the second-fewest FanDuel points per game to wide receivers this season and they have the top-ranked pass defense in our opponent-adjusted NEP rankings.
