Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Charles Johnson has quickly forced his way into fantasy relevance. After starting the season behind Cordarrelle Patterson and Greg Jennings, Johnson has worked his way up to the team's top receiver. He's established some good chemistry with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater which has led to nine catches for 175 yards and a touchdown over the last two weeks. With only Jennings to compete with, volume is not an issue for Johnson. Tight end Kyle Rudolph is always a candidate to vulture a touchdown, but he's unlikely to play this week which further boosts Johnson's outlook.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 16: Charles Johnson
The Vikings receiver has been playing well. Is he worth the start in your finals?

Fantasy Impact: Johnson shouldn't have much trouble keeping it going against the Miami Dolphins. Their mediocre secondary allows the 14th-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Owned in only 18.4 percent of ESPN leagues and 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, there's a excellent chance Johnson is available in your league. He's a legit WR3 with upside for more.
