Outlook Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at LV — Carving out touches in Kansas City's backfield
Operating as the primary backup to Kenneth Walker, rookie Emmett Johnson is earning trust after head coach Andy Reid and running backs coach DeMarco Murray confirmed plans to expand his snaps. Johnson has displayed solid burst and versatility in limited rotational action through the first three weeks, establishing himself as a clear change-of-pace option.
Our weekly projections expect around 4.5 carries and a target, amounting to roughly 4.8 fantasy points against the Raiders. While his roster rate has surged toward 48%, his current touch volume is too limited to justify a lineup spot. He remains a high-upside bench stash rather than an active fantasy starter.

Outlook Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at Minnesota — Huge Opportunity Awaits if Healthy
With lead back De'Von Achane sidelined for the season with a torn ACL, Wright is in line for an expanded role in Miami's backfield. However, Wright is currently listed as questionable with a stinger and foot injury, so fantasy managers must monitor his availability closely up until kickoff.
If active, our projections forecast roughly 6 carries, 22 rushing yards, and 4.5 fantasy points, though his touch ceiling could expand significantly without Achane. Roster rates sit at just 3%, and facing an undefeated Vikings team as heavy underdogs makes him a risky flex option this week, but he remains an essential bench stash.
