Kaleb Johnson at Jets — Buried on the Depth Chart and Off Fantasy Radars
After arriving via trade from Pittsburgh late in the preseason, Johnson remains an emergency depth piece in Green Bay's backfield. Even with Josh Jacobs sidelined on the commissioner's exempt list, Johnson is buried behind MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks on the depth chart, limiting his offensive involvement despite head coach Matt LaFleur noting early scheme familiarity.
Our weekly projection forecasts Johnson for just 2.1 carries and 7.1 rushing yards (1.4 fantasy points), pointing to a negligible role. With a 0% start rate across fantasy leagues, managers should leave him firmly on the waiver wire or bench until his weekly volume expands.

Emmett Johnson vs. Colts — High-Upside Bench Stash in Favorable Home Matchup
Operating as the primary change-of-pace backup behind Kenneth Walker, Johnson made an impression in his debut by turning eight carries and two targets into 68 total scrimmage yards. With Kansas City entering Sunday night as solid home favorites against Indianapolis, the rookie should remain integrated into the game plan, though his weekly opportunities will stay capped as long as Walker commands the bulk of early-down snaps.
Our weekly projections slate Johnson for around 5 carries and 1–2 catches for roughly 29 scrimmage yards, translating to 4.8 fantasy points. While his roster rate has surged to 35% as fantasy managers recognize his contingent upside, his sub-1% start rate accurately indicates he should remain on the bench in standard leagues until he carves out standalone goal-line or passing-down volume.
