BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR62
ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson will make his team debut on Sunday against the Denver Broncos after spending the first eight weeks this season with the Carolina Panthers. The veteran was acquired in a trade by the Ravens earlier this week for a swap of Day 3 NFL Draft picks.

Johnson is the WR32 for the year, averaging 9.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He averaged 9.2 targets per game in the five contests with Andy Dalton under center, earning double-digit looks in 60% of those matchups. Unfortunately, the veteran wide receiver won’t see the same target volume with the Ravens.
More importantly, fantasy players should avoid starting Johnson this week. Not only is it his first game with his new team, but the veteran has an awful matchup against the Denver Broncos. They have held wide receivers to 20.8 fantasy points per game, the third-fewest in the NFL.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
