2024 Outlook
Depth Chart
After a scorching start to his career playing with Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger, Diontae Johnson severely regressed in Pittsburgh's run-heavy offense with Kenny Pickett. Following a lackluster 2023 season, Pittsburgh decided to part ways with Johnson and traded him to Carolina.

Although things didn't work out in Pittsburgh, Johnson is undoubtedly a quality receiver and is widely regarded as one of the league's premier route runners. Since ESPN began tracking the aforementioned Open Score in 2017, Johnson has been the league's best receiver in this metric. He posted another high-end score in 2023, ranking 12th.

Johnson is in line to be the "do it all" first read option in Carolina's offense. While this may not sound appealing on the surface, this role was very valuable for Adam Thielen in 2023. Thielen finished the year as the WR17 in PPR leagues. He was also on a tear to start the year as the WR3 through Week 6. With Johnson's ability to get open and role as the go-to receiver, I love grabbing him as my WR3.

News From The Past 90 Days
Trade: Diontae Johnson headed to Baltimore
Pick Swap: Panthers get a 5th round pick, give up a 6th
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Oct 29, 2:08 pm

Baltimore Ravens
Trade: Carolina is sending wide receiver Diontae Johnson to the Baltimore Ravens, sources tell ESPN. Comp update: It’s a pick flop, with the Panthers getting a 5th-round pick for Diontae Johnson and a 6th, per sources. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: The Ravens bolster their offense by acquiring Johnson in a pick swap with the Panthers. This is good move for Lamar Jackson's value, who is already the No.1 quarterback in fantasy football. In Baltimore, Johnson will have to compete with Zay Flowers for targets along with the running game of Jackson and Derrick Henry. It's fair to wonder if he's going to get enough targets to see his fantasy value increase.


Injury Diontae Johnson, Adam Thielen ruled out for Week 8
Panthers thin at WR
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 25, 12:34 pm

Carolina Panthers
The #Panthers ruled out WRs Diontae Johnson (rib) and WR Adam Thielen (hamstring), while QB Andy Dalton (right thumb) is doubtful. So it'll be Bryce Young throwing to backup receivers on Sunday in Denver. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FFToday's Take: Welcome back to the starting lineup Bryce Young! Without Johnson and Thielen, the Panthers will roll out a receiving corps of Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker and Jonathan Mingo. All of these guys can be avoided in a bad matchup against the Broncos defense.


Panthers bench Bryce Young
Andy Dalton set to start for foreseeable future
By: Doug Orth | Mon Sep 16, 6:30 pm

Carolina Panthers
Sources: The #Panthers are benching former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young and starting veteran Andy Dalton beginning this week. Coach Dave Canales has repeatedly said “Bryce is our quarterback.” But with the season quickly slipping away, Canales decided to make a change. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)

FFToday's Take: While there have been more issues than bad quarterback play, the Panthers have been a rough watch through two weeks. Canales seems to have little confidence in opening up the playbook for Young and Young appears to have lost confidence in himself. Dalton may not be a miracle worker, but there is a decent chance he will breathe some life into the offense and Diontae Johnson in particular. Expect Dalton to lean heavily on Johnson and Adam Thielen immediately, starting in Week 3 against the Raiders.


Injury Diontae Johnson suffers minor foot injury Tuesday
Returned to practice shortly after limping off
By: Doug Orth | Tue Aug 20, 11:55 pm

Carolina Panthers
Diontae Johnson just limped to the opposite field following an 11 on 11 rep. He’s walking it off for now. Update (10:32 am): He’s back and just caught a pass. (Charlotte Observer - Mike Kaye)

FFToday's Take: It's been a rough week or two for Johnson, who just returned from a recent groin injury. Thankfully, Johnson did not appear to miss much practice time. HC Dave Canales has been consistent in saying Johnson will be the focal point of the passing game this season, so he should have no issue performing like a high-end WR3 - if not a low-end WR2 - assuming he can stay healthy.
