Outlook Kaleb Johnson
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.

Outlook Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman vs LAR — High-Upside Stash Amid Backfield Injuries
Coleman is suddenly in the spotlight with both J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey nursing recent hamstring injuries. The rookie running back proved his durability by quickly returning to the field after a brief medical tent visit last Sunday, finishing his day with 10 rush attempts and three receptions.
Our weekly projection currently tabs him for around 4 to 5 fantasy points with limited baseline touches, but fantasy managers have already pushed his ownership up to 56%. If either starter is ruled out against the Rams, Coleman becomes a viable deep-league play with sneaky touchdown upside; otherwise, he remains an essential stash.
