WR Diontae Johnson, CAR (1 Viewer)

Based on his time in Pit DJ is short to mid game possession receiver. Good separation and route runner. Hands could be better. Not a deep threat.

One thing overlooked is he pouts and becomes disengaged if not getting “enough” targets. His attitude is a significant reason why IMO Pit traded him in the offseason.
What a dichotomy. WRs are super important to their team but their stats are greatly affected by poor QB play or lack of targets. Therefore, this is used Against them in future earnings / contracts negotiations. I wish it weren’t but the reality is that it probably is.

So, what is the break even point? Do you put up with diva WRs that perform, and then dump them a year early (Diggs is a prime example.) When is it no longer “worth it” for a team even though it’s a good player? There is nothing to suggest DJ play is falling off, but Pittsburgh is usually well managed in the sense that it’s better to be a year early than late.
 
I think DJ has a good chance to be top 15 the rest of the way as long as Dalton is the QB. The panthers have been saying all off-season that the offense runs through DJ

They just didn't have an offense the first two weeks

"The team erred on the side of caution to prevent damaging a groin injury on the wet playing surface after heavy rain in Charlotte. Johnson said field conditions impacted his decision to sit out and he’s good to go Sunday. He is expected to practice tomorrow."

It is still raining, and it will rain heavily tonight and into tomorrow some.
 
Starting him over JSN this week.

Am definitely expecting the Panthers to regress to some degree but still seems an easy player to find room for in your lineup.
This was my plan before I saw him pop up on the injury report.
I’ll be traveling when the inactive reports are announced so I need to make a decision tonight
 
I heard it mentioned that this was his last year in Carolina. If that’s the case you deal him, DJ Moore style, to the highest bidder (likely KC).

With Dalton at the helm he’s a different player.
