Updating previous reports, Cleveland Browns WR Diontae Johnson's one-year deal is for the veteran's minimum of $1.17 million and includes no guaranteed money.
Huddle Up: This is the epitome of a prove-it deal. He'll be 29 when the season starts, and he hasn't reached 1,000 yards since 2021. He'll likely be in the slot with chances to make plays, and he'll be a lottery ticket as a WR4 or WR5.

Free-agent WR Diontae Johnson (Ravens) officially signed an undisclosed contract with the Cleveland Browns on Monday, May 5.
Huddle Up: Johnson will likely compete for targets with Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman this fall, assuming the same issues that made him a journeyman last year don't crop up again this season. While he will likely be used at all three receiver spots, Johnson makes the most sense as the primary slot option in three-wide sets. He could easily emerge as the alpha receiver in this offense, although it is fair to wonder if any of Cleveland's quarterbacks - outside of Joe Flacco - will be able to make him relevant in fantasy in 2025.

Free-agent WR Diontae Johnson (Ravens) agreed to terms with the Cleveland Browns Monday, April 28, according to sources. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Johnson is coming off a disappointing 2024 season but has a chance to earn a solid role with the Browns. Fantasy players can monitor the situation because he could be a late round pick in fantasy drafts if he is involved in the Browns passing game.

Free-agent WR Diontae Johnson (Browns) recently met with the Cleveland Browns.
Huddle Up: Johnson played for three teams this past season and finished with only 375 yards and three touchdowns. It is not known if he will have a big role with his new team, so fantasy players may want to avoid him entering drafts.

Former Houston Texans WR Diontae Johnson was claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Ravens Wednesday, Jan. 15. The transaction will not become official until after Super Bowl LIX.

Houston Texans WR Diontae Johnson was waived on Tuesday, Jan. 14.
Huddle Up: Johnson is moving on from his fourth team in less than a year. He must have worn out his welcome with or asked for his release from the Texans, who need help at the position with Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell both out for the season. There is little doubt he still has something left after what he did with the Carolina Panthers earlier this season, but he could be waiting a while to find a new home after being traded twice and waived twice in 10 months.

Houston Texans WR Diontae Johnson will continue to be fed in the offense, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
Huddle Up: He had two catches for 12 yards on four targets in the season finale. He'll be a suspect WR3 or flex option in playoff leagues.

Houston Texans WR Diontae Johnson caught two passes for 12 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. He was targeted four times during the game.

Houston Texans WR Diontae Johnson will receive some playing time during the Week 18 game, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
Huddle Up: Johnson joined the team last week, so he probably will see limited snaps during the regular season finale. He may see a few targets during the game but can be avoided in most leagues.

Houston Texans WR Diontae Johnson won't play Wednesday, Dec. 25, and expects to make his team debut in Week 18.
Huddle Up: It's too quick of a turnaround to suit up for Christmas Day. Johnson will be a WR3 against the Tennessee Titans next week. John Metchie III will serve as the second wideout against the Baltimore Ravens. He has done very little of late and is a pretty sketchy flex candidate.
