Diontae Johnson Expected To Play Week 7

Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ankle, ribs, hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Commanders today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Johnson has been playing through the ankle issue for the past couple of weeks, but the ribs and hamstring were added to the injury report on Friday. He carries elevated risk in Week 7 fantasy lineups, but he'd be very difficult to bench in this matchup against Washington's 23rd-ranked WR defense.
