But as tough as it will be to replace the league¡¯s best wide receiver, the loss of AB should give fans one of the more intriguing camp battles to follow this offseason. With JuJu Smith-Schuster assuming the No.1 role, it will be left to newcomers Donte Moncrief and Diontae Johnson to compete with returning second-year player James Washington for the right to lineup opposite him. And with none of the three players seemingly alike, it is far too early to predict a winner in this contest with any degree of certainty. When we discussed the battle last month, BTSC editor Jeff Hartman predicted Moncrief would win the job come opening day and I sided with Washington, while the rookie was effectively discounted.However, based on an article by Mark Chichester of Pro Football Focus on Monday
Ben Roethlisberger Jersey , it would appear that they disagree with our assessments, picking Johnson as the one to ultimately win the competition for the starting role.It should be noted that PFF were advocates of Johnson ahead of the draft and have written a number of glowing articles about him since, but the merits of their argument should not be ignored either. Moncrief has hardly set to NFL on fire during his first five years in the league and Washington¡¯s level of production as a rookie was far from inspiring either. That being said, it would still be a significant surprise to see the rookie get the nod over the two veteran options in Week 1. And while being able to foresee a scenario where Johnson had claimed the starting job by mid-season, it seems doubtful it will have by opening day unless the rookie has had a spectacular preseason.
