Per Joe Person of The Athletic, it's only a matter of time before the Carolina Panthers trade wide receiver Diontae Johnson (rib). The 28-year-old is the most vied wideout on the market right now, and it appears he'll be shipped off to a contender before the Nov. 5 trade deadline. At this point, his most likely destinations are San Francisco, Tampa Bay, Washington, or "an AFC contender such as Los Angeles (Chargers) or Houston." It's an exciting development, as a move would instantly boost Johnson's fantasy value. With the deadline a week away, expect this situation to escalate quickly. We've already seen a few wideouts change hands over the last few weeks, and with the Panthers reeling at 1-7 -- the long-time Pittsburgh Steeler should be the next on the move. Fantasy managers who have held onto him may be handsomely rewarded in short order.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle caught four of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) return, Waddle came into this game with WR2 expectations and did not deliver. The good news is that the offense looked exponentially better than the previous four weeks, scoring their highest total of the season. Waddle has yet to find the end zone and hasn't topped 50 yards since Week 1. However, better days are ahead for Waddle, with Miami's schedule presenting several favorable offensive matchups. Next week's matchup against the Buffalo Bills will be one of their toughest tests in the back half of the 2024 season.
