Impact Johnson found the end zone for the first time since Week 1. He's seen five targets in back-to-back outings, and should remain one of quarterback Eli Holstein's favorite downfield options. With how well the gunslinger is playing, that's not a bad position to be in.

Naturally, he bounced back with a five catch day, pacing Pittsburgh's receivers in terms of yards in the Backyard Brawl win. Johnson may be hot and cold on a game-by-game basis, but his importance to the Panthers' passing game can't be ignored.
