BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5
ANALYSIS: It takes time to master an NFL offense, especially in the middle of the season.
That's the reality for Diontae Johnson, a fantasy football lineup lock in Carolina for several weeks. The Ravens acquired the wide receiver last week. He played 30% of the snaps in his Baltimore debut and no passes were thrown in his direction.

Johnson isn't dethroning Zay Flowers as Baltimore's WR1 and there hasn't been a consistent second receiver in that offense. Mark Andrews has been invisible more often than not. Rashod Bateman reels in a long pass now and then. The Ravens run the football at the third-highest rate in the NFL.
Johnson is a good wide receiver. However, this offense isn't the best fit for his fantasy production. He'll be more involved against Cincinnati on Thursday night, and Johnson torched their secondary earlier this season (seven catches for 83 yards and a touchdown). He's just not worth starting yet until we witness consistent production.
