Outlook Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson vs. Colts — Explosive Backup Carving Out Touches at Home
Healthy and settled in as the primary backup to Kenneth Walker, rookie Emmett Johnson enters Week 2 with growing momentum. After logging eight carries along with two catches for 44 yards in the opener, Johnson saw his roster rate climb to 23%, solidifying his spot ahead of Brashard Smith in the rotation.
With Kansas City favored at home in a promising scoring environment against Indianapolis, positive game script could yield late touches. However, our projection expects around 5.2 fantasy points on five carries and two targets, meaning fantasy managers should view him as an upside stash rather than a starting option this week.

Outlook MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at NYJ — Flex appeal in rainy road matchup
With Josh Jacobs sidelined on the commissioner exempt list, Lloyd operated in a shared workload during Week 1, logging 13 carries. While Green Bay's coaching staff has noted plans for a committee backfield alongside Chris Brooks, Lloyd should continue seeing meaningful work as he settles in.
Heading into MetLife Stadium to face the Jets in moderate rain, our models project Lloyd for 14 carries, roughly 58 rushing yards, and touchdown upside. With fantasy managers starting him in only 35% of leagues following an inefficient opener, he shapes up as a solid flex option who benefits from positive game script.
