Who Should I Start? Diontae Johnson or Ladd McConkey

Monday, April 28, 10:39 PM

After visiting with former Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson on Monday, the Cleveland Browns reached an agreement with him on an undisclosed one-year deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Johnson had a disappointing and interesting 2024 season in the NFL, to say the least. He played the first seven games of the season with the Panthers after being acquired in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 28-year-old was then traded from the Panthers to the Ravens, where he caught just one pass for six yards in four games. He was eventually cut and latched on with the Texans for one game. Almost all of Johnson's production last year came in Carolina, and he finished with career-lows in catches (33) and receiving yards (375). In Cleveland, he will compete to be the No. 3 wideout behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman. Expectations will be low.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey was the lone bright spot of the Chargers Wild Card Round loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday. McConkey was targeted 14 times, making nine catches for 197 yards and a touchdown. The rookie's touchdown was an 86-yard play and the only one the Bolts would score in the game. While McConkey made his nine catches for 197 yards, the entire rest of the Chargers offense made five catches for 45 yards total. It was a rough performance by the LA offense, but McConkey shone through and truly established himself as an every week fantasy starter in his rookie year.
