Outlook Xavier Hutchinson
Xavier Hutchinson @ IND — Sneaky Target Volume Against the Colts
Hutchinson has stepped into a noticeable role in Houston's passing attack with Tank Dell sidelined on injured reserve, drawing 15 targets across the first two contests. With top receiver Nico Collins currently dealing with a hamstring injury that kept him out of practice late in the week, Hutchinson could be asked to shoulder even more responsibility on the perimeter.
Our weekly projections forecast roughly 8.1 fantasy points on about eight targets and 39 receiving yards in a divisional clash against Indianapolis. While his modest six receptions on 15 looks highlights some efficiency concerns, the underlying volume makes him an intriguing deep-league flex option if Collins is ruled out.

Outlook Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at Miami — Expanding Role Makes Him an Intriguing Stash
Operating as the direct backup behind Kenneth Walker, Johnson is steadily earning trust in Kansas City's backfield rotation. Both head coach Andy Reid and running backs coach DeMarco Murray recently noted that the rookie will see increased snaps to ease Walker's heavy workload. Johnson has maximized his limited touches over the first two weeks, turning 10 carries and four receptions into 103 total scrimmage yards.
With Kansas City favored by double digits against a winless Miami squad, a comfortable lead could lead to additional second-half touches for secondary backs. Our weekly projection slots Johnson for roughly 5 carries, 20 rushing yards, and a couple of targets (around 4.5 to 5.0 fantasy points). While his 2% start rate keeps him on fantasy benches for now, his surging 42% roster mark shows he is a priority stash.
