Kaleb Johnson vs ATL — Rotational Role Caps Standalone Fantasy Value
After being acquired via trade late in the preseason, Johnson earned his first touches in Green Bay last week, turning eight carries into 32 rushing yards. With lead back Josh Jacobs sidelined on the commissioner exempt list, the Packers have utilized a committee backfield. However, Johnson remains down the depth chart behind Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd, keeping his offensive involvement fairly limited to change-of-pace relief duties.
For Week 3 at home against Atlanta, our projections forecast Johnson for roughly six carries and 24 rushing yards with minimal target involvement (4.5 projected fantasy points). With a minuscule start percentage across fantasy leagues and virtually no passing-game footprint, Johnson should remain firmly on fantasy benches outside of the deepest formats.

Kaelon Black vs ARI — High-End Handcuff Primed for Favorable Game Script
Black shook off a minor groin issue to suit up last week and is operating cleanly as the primary backup to Christian McCaffrey on San Francisco's depth chart. The rookie has already carved out a rotational presence, totaling 21 carries across his first two NFL contests, including 14 touches in the opener.
With the 49ers sitting as sizable home favorites against Arizona, positive game script could provide extra second-half run. However, our projections anticipate modest standalone production with around 9 carries for 38 rushing yards (5.4 fantasy points). Rostered in 73% of leagues but started in just 3%, Black remains an elite bench stash rather than a starting lineup option unless McCaffrey misses time.
