Carolina Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 9.
Huddle Up: Johnson probably will be available for the Week 6 game, but fantasy players will know more later in the week. He has played much better with Andy Dalton is the starter and should be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues if active.

Carolina Panthers WR Diontae Johnson registered three receptions for 23 yards on six targets in Week 5 against the Chicago Bears.
Huddle Up: Johnson entered with 15 receptions, 205 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the past two games, but the Carolina offense struggled against the stifling Chicago defense in this one. Don't give up on Johnson as a fantasy receiver, as he showed he could be a solid WR2 option in most leagues of 12 or more teams. He'll look to rebound in Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Carolina Panthers WR Diontae Johnson could be moved before the NFL trade deadline if the club continues to struggle, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
Huddle Up: Johnson has 20 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns through his first four games this year and has emerged as QB Andy Dalton's top receiving target. As a result, he should be viewed as no worse than a WR2 option for now, although he will have a tough matchup versus the Chicago Bears in Week 5.

Carolina Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ankle) was limited in practice for a second consecutive day on Friday, Oct. 4, but was removed from the injury report ahead of the team's Week 5 contest against the Chicago Bears.
Huddle Up: Johnson has been reborn with Andy Dalton as his quarterback, compiling 15 catches on 27 targets for 205 yards and two touchdowns in two games with the crafty veteran. Over the season's first two games, he managed just five catches on five targets for 34 scoreless yards. Johnson is no worse than a fantasy WR2 moving forward regardless of matchup, although he will draw a tough assignment in Week 5 against the Bears.

Carolina Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 3.
Huddle Up: Johnson appears to be on track to play this week despite the injury and should be a main option in the passing game. He can be considered at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 2.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Johnson is in any danger of missing the Week 5 game. He has been playing very well since Andy Dalton has become the starter and should be a starting option in all leagues if he is cleared to play.
Posted: 9/29/2024 10:12 pm GMT
Carolina Panthers WR Diontae Johnson posted seven receptions for 83 yards and a touchdowns on a game-high 13 targets in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Huddle Up: It's amazing what a difference one player makes. Johnson just wasn't on the same page as Bryce Young, and the Carolina offense was in shambles. After changing to Andy Dalton under center, Johnson has managed 15 catches, 205 yards and a touchdown in both starts. He has at least seven receptions in each of Dalton's starts, too. Johnson is back as a solid WR2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams. The Panthers travel to meet the Chicago Bears in Week 5.

Carolina Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (groin) is officially active for the Week 4 game.
Huddle Up: Johnson played very well with Andy Dalton starting and should see a good amount of targets again this week. He should be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
