Johnson is still listed as questionable to play Saturday night due to a toe injury. Johnson himself stated that he would play when the Steelers host the Las Vegas Raiders. This is a must-win game for the Steelers, whose remote chances of making the playoffs will all but disappear with a loss. Johnson has had his best two-game stretch of the season in his last two weeks with 16 receptions for 180 yards. Those games, however, came with Mitch Trubisky starting at quarterback. Saturday night, it will be Kenny Pickett, who is back under center as he has recovered from his concussion.

The Steelers are -1.5-point favorites (-115) versus the Raiders on Saturday and are -134 on the moneyline. The game has an over/under of 38.5, over (-106), and under (-114). You can find the lines and props for this game and all others on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
