Outlook Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at Las Vegas — Backup Role Growing but Remains a Bench Stash
Operating as the primary change-of-pace back behind Kenneth Walker, Johnson has impressed the coaching staff early this season. Head coach Andy Reid and running backs coach DeMarco Murray both noted recently that the rookie will continue earning more opportunities to help manage Walker’s heavy workload. Through three contests, Johnson has logged 16 carries and caught all four of his targets, proving to be a reliable and versatile contributor when called upon.
For fantasy purposes, Johnson is not quite ready for starting lineups, as reflected by his 2% start rate despite roster ownership climbing to 43%. Our weekly projection pegs him for 5.6 fantasy points on roughly five carries and a reception in what profiles as a high-scoring divisional matchup with Las Vegas. Keep him securely stashed on your bench as a high-upside insurance policy.

Outlook Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis @ CHI — Elevated Workload With Breece Hall Out
With lead back Breece Hall ruled out due to a quad injury, Isaiah Davis steps into an expanded role behind Braelon Allen against Chicago. Davis has seen his roster rate jump from 1% to 14% over the last week as managers seek backfield insurance, positioning him as the primary complementary runner for the Jets at Soldier Field.
Our projections expect modest involvement, forecasting Davis for nearly six carries, 27 rushing yards, and two targets for 6.9 fantasy points. While the road matchup and a missing starter offer upside, his touch volume remains capped, making him a risky flex option best suited for deeper formats.
