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 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at Washington — Lead back primed for volume after dodging injury scare
Price avoided significant damage after exiting last week's win, with head coach Mike Macdonald confirming his shoulder issue is minor. Listed atop the depth chart while Zach Charbonnet remains sidelined, the rookie has steadily established himself with 23 carries for 104 rushing yards across his first two career games.
Our projections forecast another productive outing with roughly 12 carries for 57 yards and modest involvement through the air. Seattle enters as a touchdown favorite against an 0-2 Washington defense, setting up a run-friendly game script where fantasy managers should feel confident slotting Price into starting lineups as a solid RB2 or flex option.
