Johnson recorded seven receptions on 13 targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 16-16 tie against Detroit.
Johnson narrowly beat out Ray-Ray McCloud as Mason Rudolph's favorite target Sunday to lead the team in receiving. He picked up big gains of 39 and 20 yards, though the former ended with a crucial fumble that cost Pittsburgh a chance to kick a game-winning field goal in overtime. Though Johnson has surpassed the century mark only once this season, he's surpassed 70 receiving yards in six of his eight contests. He would benefit from the return of Ben Roethlisberger (illness) heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Chargers.
