Baller Move: Target Around ~ 65th Overall
ADP: ~89
ANALYSIS: Johnson gets a fresh start in Carolina after a few down years with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He remains one of the best route runners in the league and is an underrated player.

The sixth-year wideout has finished as the PPR WR45 and WR38 the last two years after a WR8 finish in 2021. At his current ADP, he is being drafted closer to his floor rather than his ceiling. There’s a lot of room for Johnson to return a profit at his current price.
Begin targeting Johnson in the sixth round of your draft. That might sound aggressive when looking at his ADP, but I have competed in numerous drafts and have seen Johnson taken multiple times in this area. The book’s out, and gamers are getting more aggressive in drafting him.
Johnson has a good offensive play-caller and is the team’s clear WR1. If head coach Dave Canales works his magic with second-year signal-caller Bryce Young, then we could see Johnson once again finish as a top-10 receiver.
