Diontae Johnson Week 6 Outlook - Falcons at Panthers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 10th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

With Andy Dalton under center, Johnson has been reawakened as the WR11 in fantasy points per game with a 27.4% target share, a 46% air-yard share, 2.21 YPRR, and a 39.7% first-read share. Johnson should have a bounceback game this week after last week's letdown against a tough Chicago secondary. Atlanta has allowed the eighth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Jonson is tied for the NFL lead in red zone targets. Johnson will run about 78% of his routes against A.J. Terrell (78.9% catch rate and 98.9 passer rating) and Mike Hughes (66.7% catch rate and 83.6 passer rating).
