I would i think this is a panic move way too early in the season.
Dropped in my dynasty league. Bit of a surprising drop. I have the #1 waiver priority. Should I use it? Info in signature.

You know your league history and how frequently someone like Johnston (or better) gets dropped. In most 16 team dynasties, I would wager that high end guys like Johnston are not dropped often, so he's a good candidate for using a waiver claim. Question is where he would go. Mercer and Lundell both come with some foundation for future production. It would be nice to be able to do a two for one in short order, but that might not be feasible.
