Outlook Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at Miami — Expanding Backup Role Brings Intriguing Stash Value
The rookie currently operates as the primary backup to Kenneth Walker in Kansas City's backfield. Head coach Andy Reid recently noted that Johnson will earn more snaps to relieve Walker after a heavy workload to open the year. Johnson has shown impressive efficiency in limited work, hauling in four passes for 64 receiving yards through two games.
Despite Reid's comments, Johnson remains a bench stash rather than a recommended starter. Our weekly projection expects around 5 fantasy points on roughly 4 to 5 carries with limited passing-down work. Kansas City enters as heavy road favorites, giving Johnson potential garbage-time upside, but his 1.8% start rate reflects that he belongs on fantasy benches.

Outlook Chris Godwin
Chris Godwin vs. Minnesota — Efficient Slot Target Seeking More Volume
Godwin continues to operate as Tampa Bay's primary slot receiver, catching all seven of his targets across the first two weeks for 86 yards. Baker Mayfield has leaned on his veteran reliability on third downs and quick screens, where Godwin has shown vintage yards-after-catch ability. With the Buccaneers starting 0-2 and facing an undefeated Minnesota defense, Tampa Bay must distribute targets quickly.
Our weekly projection tabs Godwin for roughly 3.5 receptions and 40 yards, keeping him in the WR4 or modest flex tier. While his roster rate sits at 91%, only about 21% of fantasy managers are starting him due to limited red-zone looks and low passing volume. Consider him a floor-based flex option who requires a touchdown to deliver high-end fantasy value.
