With Dalton under center, Johnson has been cooking with a 32.1% target share, a 57.2% air-yard share, 2.89 YPRR, and 43.1% first-read share. Over the last two weeks, Johnson has been the WR3 in fantasy points per game. In just those two games, he has seen an insane six end-zone targets. Chicago has the tenth-highest single high rate (56.5%). Since Week 3 against single-high, Johnson has seen his target share balloon to 38.3% with a 69.7% air-yard share, 3.45 YPRR, and a 50% first-read share. Chicago will be a formidable challenge for Johnson. The Bears have allowed the eighth-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Johnson will run about 85% of his routes against Jaylon Johnson (53.8% catch rate and 40.1 passer rating) and Tyrique Stevenson (58.6% catch rate and 79.0 passer rating).

Diontae Johnson (ankle) will play in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson was added to the injury report earlier this week due to ankle soreness, but as expected, he will be available to play in Sunday's game. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to start him in a matchup against the Bears, especially considering how well he has been playing lately.
