Who Should I Start? Diontae Johnson or Jerry Jeudy

As expected, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle) was removed from the final Week 5 injury report on Friday after he put in a second straight limited practice. Johnson was given a DNP in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, but the Panthers all along expected him to play this Sunday against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The 28-year-old needs to be locked into all starting fantasy lineups despite the tough matchup against Chicago's defense on the road. In two games since quarterback Andy Dalton took over for Bryce Young under center, Johnson has caught 15 of his 27 targets for 205 yards and two touchdowns. High volume should be expected yet again with Adam Thielen (hamstring) still on Injured Reserve.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) will head into Week 5's matchup against the Washington Commanders without an injury designation after practicing fully all week despite being listed with a knee issue. Jeudy draws a fantastic matchup against a Washington defense that is allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers through four games. Jeudy has been a solid contributor for the Browns this season, going for at least 72 receiving yards or a touchdown in three of his four games. Fantasy gamers should feel confident starting Jeudy as a fantasy WR3 heading into Week 5.
