BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: New Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson wasn't targeted at all in his debut with his new team and played just 30% of the snaps. Until we get more clarity on what his role is with the team and how much we can expect him to be involved as a pass-catcher, he's to risky to put in starting lineups outside of very deep leagues.

At some point, he may be fantasy relevant again, but Baltimore isn't known for producing fantasy-relevant receivers with Lamar Jackson at quarterback, at least not until Zay Flowers emerged this season. They also have games where they don't need to pass the ball much, though tonight's showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals may not be one of those games.
This may be a game where the team needs to get him more involved, but outside of Flowers, even tight end Mark Andrews has gotten much less work than he has in previous seasons. The Ravens have spread the ball around amongst their tight ends, and their starting running back, Derrick Henry, is a potent touchdown threat.
It may be difficult for Johnson to achieve fantasy relevance outside of shootouts, but this could be one of them.
