Ryan Flournoy at Indianapolis — Expanding Slot Role Brings Flex Appeal in Projected Shootout

Flournoy has carved out a steady role as the primary slot receiver for Dallas, catching a touchdown in two of his past three outings while totaling 108 receiving yards over his last two games. With KaVontae Turpin ruled out and George Pickens questionable with a hamstring injury, Flournoy could see extra targets alongside CeeDee Lamb.

His roster rate has surged to 53%, making him an intriguing flex option in deeper formats. Dallas visits a 2-6 Colts team in a dome matchup with high-scoring potential, where our weekly projection slots Flournoy for roughly 3.3 receptions, 41 yards, and 10.1 fantasy points.

Emmett Johnson vs. Jets — Big-Play Ability Offers Sneaky PPR Upside

Emmett Johnson has carved out an explosive complementary role behind Kenneth Walker in Kansas City's backfield, solidified with backup Brashard Smith sidelined on injured reserve. The rookie is coming off a monster Week 8 showing where he exploded for 128 receiving yards and a 73-yard score, showcasing league-leading elusiveness that has prompted Kansas City to design touches for him in space.

While his roster rate surged to nearly 45%, start rates remain modest around 6% due to limited pure carry volume. Our weekly projection pegs Johnson for roughly 38 total yards on 4 carries and 2 receptions against the Jets. With the Chiefs favored by double digits, Johnson provides intriguing flex upside in deeper PPR formats, though his weekly floor remains low given his reliance on big plays and passing-game efficiency.
