Outlook Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at Miami — Expanding Role Creates Quality Stash Appeal
Operating as Kansas City's primary backup running back behind Kenneth Walker, Johnson is earning glowing reviews from the coaching staff. Head coach Andy Reid and running backs coach DeMarco Murray both noted this week that the rookie will see his snaps expand to ease Walker's heavy touch load. Johnson has maximized his early touches, catching all four of his targets across two games for 64 yards.
With Kansas City favored heavily on the road in Miami, game script could open up fourth-quarter rushing work. Our weekly projection lands him at roughly 5 carries, 20 rushing yards, and 1.4 receptions for 5.9 fantasy points. Johnson's roster rate has surged to 46%, making him an intriguing bench stash, but he remains too volatile to start.

Outlook Justice Hill
Justice Hill at Dallas — Limited Touches Keep Ceiling Low in High-Scoring Matchup
Hill continues to operate as the change-of-pace backup behind Derrick Henry in Baltimore's backfield. Through the first two games, his involvement has been modest, totaling just eight carries for 24 yards alongside three receptions. Starting tackle Ronnie Stanley's absence also slightly dings overall offensive efficiency.
Even in a projected high-scoring tilt against Dallas, Hill offers minimal standalone value without an injury to Henry. Our projection expects around 4 carries and 2 catches for roughly 29 scrimmage yards (5.8 fantasy points). Roster him strictly as a handcuff stash rather than a lineup option.
