Diontae Johnson (ankle) did not participate in Carolina’s practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson did not participate in Carolina’s practice on Wednesday. He’s listed with an ankle injury, but this seems to be more of a precautionary move from the team than anything else. He should play in Week 7 and fantasy managers shouldn’t have any concerns for his injury, barring a setback in practice.

What the Experts Are Saying
Since the Carolina Panthers made the switch at quarterback to veteran Andy Dalton, Diontae Johnson has three top-12 finishes in four weeks. Johnson could be in for another big day in Week 7, but keep an eye on his health status. Johnson missed practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. If he can play, fire him up as a WR1 versus a bottom-six Washington pass defense. Considering this game will be played in the late window, fantasy managers will want to have a backup plan in case Johnson cannot go.
