BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR20
ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has been outstanding since the team benched Bryce Young for Andy Dalton. The veteran wide receiver had five receptions on 12 targets for 34 receiving yards and 5.9 half-point PPR fantasy points in the two games with Young under center.
By comparison, Johnson has averaged six receptions on 11 targets for 76 receiving yards and 14.8 fantasy points per game with Dalton, totaling 17.8 or more in his first two contests. While the veteran receiver struggled in Week 5, he was a couple of bad breaks away from finding the end zone for the third consecutive week.

Fantasy players should expect Johnson to bounce back this week. He faces an Atlanta Falcons defense that has struggled to slow down wide receivers lately. They have surrendered 36.7 or more fantasy points and at least two touchdowns to wide receivers in two of their past three matchups.
