Never a doubt! Johnson had been my guy all summer long, but the first few weeks of the season had me worried. With Andy Dalton getting the start in Week 3, though, we got the Diontae I envisioned in the offseason. He went off for 26.2 fantasy points, finishing as the WR6 on the week. He could’ve had more points, too, as he was wide open in the end zone on a play where Dalton was hit when he threw the ball. Johnson finished with 14 targets, 142 air yards and four end zone targets against the Raiders. That is absolutely elite volume, and that was in a game where the Panthers held a two-score lead for much of the day. Against Cincinnati this week, Carolina likely will have to throw the ball a good amount in the Andy Dalton revenge game. Keep riding with Diontae.
