Things aren’t perfect for the Carolina Panthers’ quarterback right now…but they are perfect for wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who suddenly entered weekly flex considerations. During the offseason, it seemed like Johnson could be one of the better values in fantasy football drafts as the clear WR1 in new Dave Canales’ offense. However, Bryce Young’s poor play hampered Johnson’s shot at fantasy relevance.
Andy Dalton hasn’t been a perfect solution, especially for the Panthers, but he has provided some much-needed spark to the passing game, and this week the Panthers have one of the worst secondaries in the league with Johnson likely to play. It will be a battle between the two teams. This combination marks the fourth top-15 finish for a WR this season.
