After a scorching start to his career playing with Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger, Diontae Johnson severely regressed in Pittsburgh's run-heavy offense with Kenny Pickett. Following a lackluster 2023 season, Pittsburgh decided to part ways with Johnson and traded him to Carolina.
Although things didn't work out in Pittsburgh, Johnson is undoubtedly a quality receiver and is widely regarded as one of the league's premier route runners. Since ESPN began tracking the aforementioned Open Score in 2017, Johnson has been the league's best receiver in this metric. He posted another high-end score in 2023, ranking 12th.
Johnson is in line to be the "do it all" first read option in Carolina's offense. While this may not sound appealing on the surface, this role was very valuable for Adam Thielen in 2023. Thielen finished the year as the WR17 in PPR leagues. He was also on a tear to start the year as the WR3 through Week 6. With Johnson's ability to get open and role as the go-to receiver, I love grabbing him as my WR3.

Diontae Johnson finds new home in Houston
WR was waived by Baltimore last week
By: Doug Orth | Mon Dec 23, 11:55 pm
|  | Trading places: The Texans claimed former Ravens WR Diontae Johnson on waivers three days after the Ravens claimed former Texans WR/punt returner Steven Sims on waivers. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: The Texans catch a big break in acquiring Johnson after losing Tank Dell to a season-ending knee injury in Week 16. There is almost no chance Johnson will be able to contribute on such short notice in Week 17 against his former team, but he could be an impact player for them at the start of the NFL Playoffs next month.
| Trade: Diontae Johnson headed to Baltimore
Pick Swap: Panthers get a 5th round pick, give up a 6th
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Oct 29, 2:08 pm
|  | Trade: Carolina is sending wide receiver Diontae Johnson to the Baltimore Ravens, sources tell ESPN. Comp update: It’s a pick flop, with the Panthers getting a 5th-round pick for Diontae Johnson and a 6th, per sources. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Ravens bolster their offense by acquiring Johnson in a pick swap with the Panthers. This is good move for Lamar Jackson's value, who is already the No.1 quarterback in fantasy football. In Baltimore, Johnson will have to compete with Zay Flowers for targets along with the running game of Jackson and Derrick Henry. It's fair to wonder if he's going to get enough targets to see his fantasy value increase.
|  Diontae Johnson, Adam Thielen ruled out for Week 8
Panthers thin at WR
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 25, 12:34 pm
|  | The #Panthers ruled out WRs Diontae Johnson (rib) and WR Adam Thielen (hamstring), while QB Andy Dalton (right thumb) is doubtful.
So it'll be Bryce Young throwing to backup receivers on Sunday in Denver. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Welcome back to the starting lineup Bryce Young! Without Johnson and Thielen, the Panthers will roll out a receiving corps of Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker and Jonathan Mingo. All of these guys can be avoided in a bad matchup against the Broncos defense.
