Kaleb Johnson to Get Involved in Week 4?
Although Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson was active in Week 3, he did not play a snap following a costly special teams error in Week 2. On Friday, head coach Mike Tomlin complimented the rookie’s work ethic, stating that he has “positioned himself to be a contributor” in Dublin, Ireland against the Minnesota Vikings. Exactly how many offensive opportunities he will see remains unclear, though Tomlin confirmed that Johnson will not handle kick returns. With starter Jaylen Warren (knee) banged up, Johnson could mix in with veteran Kenneth Gainwell if all three backs are active. If Warren is limited or unexpectedly ruled out, Johnson’s role could expand significantly. He is not a viable fantasy starter this week, especially against a strong Minnesota run defense, but the University of Iowa product is worth stashing ahead of Sunday’s contest.
