The Carolina Panthers acquired wide receiver Diontae Johnson and pick No. 240 overall in this year's NFL draft from the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday in exchange for cornerback Donte Jackson and pick No. 178 overall in this year's draft, according to sources. The move leaves the Steelers dangerously thin at the receiver position, with George Pickens and Calvin Austin III as the team's top two wideouts with Johnson gone. Johnson, 27, finished last year with a career-low 51 catches for 717 yards and five touchdowns. He'll move to a Panthers offense desperately seeking playmakers and should be one of quarterback Bryce Young's top targets, other than veteran Adam Thielen. Johnson's chances for a fantasy rebound in 2024 don't look great in Carolina, but perhaps he can develop some nice chemistry with Young and feed off volume.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb gained over 100 yards again in a playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers. Lamb was targeted 17 times in the game, making nine catches for 110 yards, including a long gain of 47 yards. It was a rare game where Lamb did not catch a touchdown, but he was once again able to make it over 100 yards. Lamb was consistently a top-five option at his position this season and should be right up there in those ranks next season as one of the first players drafted in almost all formats.
