Fantasy Impact:
Johnson being dealt to Baltimore is big fantasy news, with notable implications for the Ravens' pass catchers. This trade will likely boost Johnson's fantasy stock, even if he sees fewer targets overall. Baltimore’s offense is much more efficient than Carolina’s, ranking 2nd in yards per pass, 3rd in passing touchdowns, and 5th in passing yards per game. Johnson likely steps in as the WR2, with Zay Flowers remaining the WR1. This addition could siphon targets from tight ends Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews. Rashod Bateman's role will be interesting to watch, but given how often Flowers lines up in the slot, Bateman may be insulated from a drop-off in usage. It is worth noting that Bateman was a 1st round draft pick for the Ravens in 2021, and he has played well this season. Nelson Agholor may be the odd man out, although he can also play in the slot if Flowers shifts outside.
