Panthers | Carolina expects to lean on Diontae Johnson Tue Apr 23, 01:44 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Diontae Johnson informed reporters on Tuesday, April 23, that head coach Dave Canales told him shortly after his trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers that he would play 'X' (split end) and be the first read on the majority of passing plays in 2024.
| Footballguys view: Yahoo's Matt Harmon, also the creator of the Reception Perception method for assessing the receiver position, reminds us that Carolina's wideouts could not get open last season. Harmon also notes that is Johnson's specialty. Johnson, who finished last year as WR45, currently resides at WR41 on the Footballguys 2024 Draft Rankings. He is going in that same spot in best-ball drafts at Underdog and BestBall 10s. |

Link to story Chiefs | KC keeping the faith in Kadarius Toney Tue Apr 23, 12:21 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney is 'probably our most talented wideout now,' according to general manager Brett Veach.'He is probably our most talented wideout now. It doesn't do anyone any good unless you stay healthy. But the kid has always worked hard here for us and I know he's been down there with (Patrick Mahomes) and I think it's a matter of him staying healthy and I think if he can do that, he can really do a lot of great things in this offense. People around the building like him and it's the injury bug and hopefully he gets some luck on his side and he can stay healthy and be the player that he was in Florida and the player that we've seen in spurts here,' Veach said.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy managers who took a chance on Toney as their WR5 or 6 last season came up short. Will they invest again this year? It's unlikely. Those who haven't already been burned might do worse with their final picks in best-ball drafts, but in terms of redraft, it's hard to see Toney as draftworthy. |

He was a revelation replacing an injured Joe Burrow, throwing for 1,936 yards, 12 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while completing 70.4 percent of his passes. Browning also rushed for 127 yards and another three touchdowns. |

Steelers | No decision on Najee Harris' option Mon Apr 22, 06:38 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris' fifth-year option will be decided on after the 2024 NFL Draft, according to general manager Omar Khan.
| Footballguys view: From a fantasy perspective, sharing the workload with Jaylen Warren isn't ideal, but it hasn't kept Harris from producing. In 2023, Harris had the best season of his career in terms of yards per carry as he rushed 255 times for 1,035 yards -- a 4.1 yards per carry average -- and he scored eight touchdowns. He remains a solid fantasy RB2. |

| Footballguys view: Aiyuk, who is currently set to make $14.1 million this seaso, is coming off a strong season where he recorded 75 receptions for 1,342 yards and seven touchdownss while serving as an invaluable cog in the 49ers' explosive offense. Assuming he remains with the team, Aiyuk should be viewed as a fantasy WR2. |

Jets | Zach Wilson traded to Denver Mon Apr 22, 02:32 PM
New York Jets QB Zach Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos for a 2024 sixth-round pick in the NFL draft, according to sources Monday, April 22. The Jets also are sending a 2024 seventh-round pick along with Wilson and are expected to pay some of his $5.5 million salary.
| Footballguys view: Wilson now finds himself on a team seeking options under center following their split with Russell Wilson. As NFL.com notes, because of that divorce, Denver doesn't have the budget to spend on a confirmed starter at quarterback, leading the Broncos to take a flier on adding Zach Wilson to a quarterbacks room that includes Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci. They'll likely add another in this week's NFL Draft. |
