Ravens WR Diontae Johnson played just five snaps and ran three pass routes in the Week 10 win over the Bengals. His playing time was actually down from his Week 9 Ravens debut (17 snaps, six routes). Johnson was at least targeted on two of his three routes against Cincinnati. He caught the first for six yards; the second fell incomplete after Johnson stumbled trying to work downfield.
Ravens HC John Harbaugh told CBS' Tracy Wolfson that WR Diontae Johnson is expected to play 10-15 snaps vs. the Broncos today. We'd expect most of those snaps to come on passing plays, but it's still not nearly enough to make Johnson a viable Week 9 fantasy play. We'll continue to monitor his playing time as he settles into his new offense.
Insider Josina Anderson hears that the Ravens plan on making Diontae Johnson the No. 3 WR behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.
Panthers WR Diontae Johnson has been traded to the Baltimore Ravens. The move cost the Ravens very little swapping a 2025 5th round pick to the panthers for Johnson and a 2025 6th round pick. Johnson adds another weapon for Lamar Jackson, but it is a less than stellar landing spot for Johnson's fantasy potential this season.
ESPN's Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday that he expects WR Diontae Johnson to get traded ahead of next Tuesday's deadline. It makes plenty of sense for the 1-7 Panthers to get something in return for Johnson, who is set to hit free agency this offseason. A new home would certainly mean an upgrade in QB play and general offensive environment for Johnson. But he'd also have a new offense to learn and very likely face tougher target competition. Consider Johnson a hold while we wait on a potential trade. His departure would free up targets for WRs Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette, and Jalen Coker. But none is an exciting fantasy option considering the state of that offense.
Panthers WRs Diontae Johnson (rib) and Adam Thielen (hamstring) have been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. Johnson has been battling multiple injuries throughout the season. It's not the worst thing in the world that he's missing this game against stud CB Patrick Surtain with QB Bryce Young under center. We'll see if Johnson makes it back for Week 9. Thielen just returned to practice this week after coming off IR and isn't ready for game action yet. The Panthers will trot out Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker, Jonathan Mingo, and David Moore as their top four WRs this weekend. They'll struggle to score points.
Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (rib) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. His previous ankle and hamstring injuries are off this week's injury report, and Johnson played through this rib issue last week. We're still expecting him to suit up for Sunday's game vs. the Broncos, but check back tomorrow to see how he's listed on the final injury report
Panthers QB Bryce Young will start this weekend's game vs. the Broncos, HC Dave Canales announced on Wednesday. QB Andy Dalton sprained a thumb in a car accident earlier this week. He'll be evaluated "day to day," Canales said, and might be available as Young's backup on Sunday.
Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) has been designated to return from IR and will practice on Wednesday. He's been out since injuring his hamstring at the end of the first half of Week 3. Thielen was a full-time player before going down but totaled just 12 targets across his 2.5 games. We'll see how Carolina divvies up playing time between Thielen and rookie WR Xavier Legette behind lead WR Diontae Johnson, but Thielen won't be much of a fantasy option in this struggling passing game.
Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ankle, ribs, hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Commanders. He's been playing through the ankle issue for the past two weeks but had the rib and hamstring added to Friday’s injury report. There’s elevated risk here, but Johnson would be tough to bench against Washington’s 23rd-ranked WR defense.
Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ankle, ribs, hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Commanders today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Johnson has been playing through the ankle issue for the past couple of weeks, but the ribs and hamstring were added to the injury report on Friday. He carries elevated risk in Week 7 fantasy lineups, but he'd be very difficult to bench in this matchup against Washington's 23rd-ranked WR defense.
Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ankle, ribs, hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders. He's been playing through the ankle issue for the past two weeks, but the rib and hamstring were added to the injury report on Friday. Johnson only got in a limited practice on Friday, which is the least amount of work he's gotten in a week this season. We'll look for further updates on his status. We won't get Carolina's inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday.
Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ankle) missed practice again on Thursday. He's been playing through this ankle injury for the past two weeks, but this is the first time he's missed consecutive practices. We'll see if he gets on the field on Friday and then how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders.
