    Ravens claimed WR Diontae Johnson off of waivers from the Texans.
    ESPN’s Adam Schefter carefully broke down what is ultimately a brilliant “procedural move” by the Ravens. Johnson is not eligible to play in this post-season and will not be “awarded” to the Ravens until after the Super Bowl. Schefter notes Johnson “qualifies as an unrestricted free agent this offseason and, if he signs with another team, he factors into Baltimore’s compensatory pick formula, potentially helping it obtain an additional draft pick in 2026.” Schefter adds that Johnson “likely won’t step foot back into the Ravens’ facility. But he now can help Baltimore in the off-season.”

    Texans waived Diontae Johnson.
    Johnson will go down in Texans 3:30 PM CT Wild Card Saturday history as “one player who caught a pass once.” The receiver has been waived three times this year and mercifully, we don’t think there’s another team left that will claim him this year. He finishes the season with a 33/375/3 receiving line in 12 games and will hit the high-risk one-year bin in free agency. NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports that he was visibly upset after the game over his role in the offense — an offense he just arrived to three weeks ago. Entering his age-29 season, we may have seen the end of Johnson as a fantasy football asset. Certainly NFL teams are telling us that very loudly by their actions this season.

    Diontae Johnson caught his lone target for 12 yards in the Texans’ Wild Card Round win against the Chargers.
    Contrary to head coach DeMeco Ryans’ proclamation that the Texans would “feed” Johnson in the Wild Card Round, the veteran saw just one target while running a route on 15 of the team’s 43 drop backs on the day. Johnson saw four targets on 16 routes in Week 18 against the Titans. It appears, for now, that John Metchie — who had eight targets against LA — is the Texans’ No. 2 wideout behind Nico Collins.

    Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said the team will “continue to feed (Diontae Johnson) more” in the postseason.
    Ryans spoke highly of Johnson, who caught 2-of-4 targets for 12 yards in the Week 18 finale against the Titans. Ryans said he was “really impressed with this last week of practice” from Johnson and praised him for picking up the offense quickly. It’s been a trying season for Johnson, who caught 30 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns in seven games with the Panthers before a brief stint with the Ravens in which he caught 1-of-5 targets for six yards before being suspended by the team after refusing to go on the field in a game. With a big offseason coming up in free agency, a strong playoff performance would benefit Johnson, who has some brand rebuilding to do after being one of the league’s premiere target hogs through his first five years in the league.

    Diontae Johnson caught 2-of-4 targets for 12 yards in Houston’s Week 18 win over the Titans.
    Johnson played 22 snaps, but all four of his targets came in the first half and he got a red zone look from Davis Mills on a ball that was well behind Johnson. It seems plausible that Johnson is Houston’s No. 2 receiver in name heading into the playoffs. What that is actually worth for fantasy managers in DFS or playoff best ball leagues is: Probably not much. It’s not like the production came with C.J. Stroud.

    Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Diontae Johnson will play in Week 18 against the Titans.
    Johnson was waived by the Ravens a few weeks ago. The Texans were awarded him on waivers with a few other teams putting in claims as well. He will likely get a few reps early in the game with the starters before Houston pulls their first-team offense. They have nothing to play for this week and won’t risk more than a handful of drives as their offense tries to find its footing heading into the playoffs.

    Texans declared WR Diontae Johnson inactive for Week 17 against the Ravens.
    As expected, the Texans will not have Johnson make his debut against his former team after just claiming the wideout from Baltimore on Monday. Houston will get John Metchie III (shoulder) for the Wednesday contest, and he could see a chunk of targets due to the depleted injury room. The rest of the Texans inactives are LB Devin White, G Shaq Mason, C/G Juice Scruggs, DT Folorunso Fatukasi, and DE Jerry Hughes.
  • HOU Wide Receiver
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Diontae Johnson is not expected to play in Week 17 against the Ravens.
    Johnson was claimed off waivers from Baltimore on Monday, but even with the Houston wide receiver corps decimated by injuries, the 28-year-old won’t be able to make his debut until Week 18 against the Titans it appears.

    Texans claimed WR Diontae Johnson off waivers from the Ravens.
    Johnson will be able to share some intel on his old team ahead of Christmas’ game against the Ravens. The target vacuum that has emerged in Houston with injuries to Tank Dell and Stefon Diggs is an inviting fantasy football volume spot. It is unlikely the Texans would ask Johnson to be that right away, but the #RevengeGame narratives do write themselves nicely. We’d expect them to try and get his feet wet in Week 17, and maybe give him an expanded role in Week 18 and see what happens against the Titans.
  • FA Wide Receiver #18
    Diontae Johnson is expected to be claimed on waivers on Monday with the Chargers and Chiefs as potential landing spots, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
    The Ravens finally cut ties with Johnson as they waived the 28-year-old wide receiver on Friday. The move was inevitable after he refused to enter the team’s Week 13 contest against the Eagles. Johnson will be subjected to waivers and in a cruel twist for the Ravens could end up being claimed by a contending team, even one Baltimore might see in the playoffs.
