Rookie WR Diontae Johnson has been elevated to the No. 2 receiver spot and will start opposite Juju Smith-Schuster vs the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. “They told me I’m starting from here on out,” Johnson said via 937 The Fan of the coaches after practice. Johnson who is a better route runner and playmaker with the ball in his hands, gets the promotion over Mason Rudolph’s favorite target James Washington. Veteran WR Donte Moncrief who entered the season as the clear No. 2, has been dropped to the No. 6 wide receiver for this week vs San Francisco.
