Russell Wilson, George Pickens, Steelers' Fantasy Outlook After Diontae Johnson Trade

The Pittsburgh Steelers traded veteran wideout Diontae Johnson and a seventh-round pick to the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday in exchange for defensive back Donte Jackson and a sixth-rounder, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Johnson has been a big part of the team's offense in recent seasons and was a solid fantasy option in both 2020 (88 catches for 923 yards and seven scores) and 2021 (107 catches for 1,161 yards and eight touchdowns), though the past two years he's fallen off in that regard.

So, how will Tuesday's trade impact the team's other potentially fantasy-relevant players, including new quarterback Russell Wilson and wideout George Pickens?
