BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Diontae Johnson erupted for 122 yards on eight catches and scored a touchdown in Carolina's upset of the Raiders in Week 3. The move to Andy Dalton at quarterback unlocked the entire offense as the Panthers put up 36 points and huge yardage totals.
Johnson won one-on-one battles all game, finishing with a team-high 14 targets from Dalton. He finally looked like the player that managers thought they were getting when they drafted him in the middle rounds - or even better than anyone could have hoped for.

With Dalton playing quarterback, we can now safely slot Johnson back into our lineups every week. He should continue to be the alpha receiver on this team, and Carolina could be in another good spot to produce a lot of offense this week as they face the reeling Bengals, who failed to make the Commanders punt even once last Monday night.
Start Johnson with confidence in all formats. He was held out of practice on Thursday, but just as a precaution and should be ready to go.
