Diontae Johnson A Decent Start In Week 1

Saturday, September 7, 11:48 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson will make his team debut this Sunday when the Panthers travel to take on the New Orleans Saints. Johnson was brought in to provide additional support to a unit that severely underperformed in 2023, and looks to be the WR1 for the offense. He faces a Saints defense that was above average against the pass last season, allowing the tenth-fewest receiving yards and thirteenth-fewest fantasy points to the position. That being said, the former Steeler should drive a strong target share, making him a more than viable option in the matchup. Fantasy managers should prioritize Johnson as a WR2/3

Nico Collins Limited On Thursday With Illness

Thursday, September 12, 4:56 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (illness) was limited during Thursday's practice due to an illness. The budding receiver practiced in full on Wednesday. The Texans could be leaning on the side of caution ahead of their Week 2 matchup to give him an extra day of rest. However, fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's report as it should suggest if Collins will be ready to suit up. In the season opener, Collins continued his 2023 breakout campaign by catching six passes for a team-high 117 yards in their victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Collins should remain locked into all lineups as a high-end WR2 over the weekend.
