Who Should I Start? Robby Anderson or Diontae Johnson

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Robbie Chosen (concussion) was upgraded to limited participation in Thursday's practice after managing no activity on Wednesday. Chosen sustained a concussion in the Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys and hasn't yet cleared each step of the protocol to get in full practice participation. The 30-year-old deep threat has only appeared in seven games for the Dolphins in 2023, catching four of his five passes for 126 yards and one touchdown, but he has a chance for increased playing time with Jaylen Waddle (ankle) looking doubtful to be active on Sunday versus the Baltimore Ravens. Any kind of expanded role is still unlikely to be enough to get Chosen onto the fantasy radar as managers look to take home a title in Week 17, but the Dolphins are going to want as much firepower as they can muster against a high-octane Ravens offense.

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.
