BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2/WR1
ANALYSIS: There should be absolutely no thought put into this. Yes, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson had a rough game against the Chicago Bears in Week 6, but they're one of the worst teams for fantasy quarterbacks and receivers to play against. Just ignore that game.

Start the WRs that get a ton of targets. That's Johnson. He's the clear No. 1 receiver for his team, and quarterback Andy Dalton isn't afraid to feed him. He already has three touchdowns, so he's also targeted in the end zone. He's also a great football player and one of the best route runners in the league.

You cannot sit him this week. To do so would be a horrible idea because the team he will face, the Washington Commanders, are about as effective at stopping receiver fantasy production as plastic spoons are in a swordfight. So, really, not at all.
Start Johnson in all leagues.
