Outlook Jordan Watkins
Jordan Watkins vs. Raiders — Expanded Opportunity in a Banged-Up Receiving Corps
With top wideouts Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. both ruled out, San Francisco's receiver room is severely thinned out. Watkins is positioned to handle significant snaps on the outside alongside Jacob Cowing, building on momentum from his last outing where he earned six targets and narrowly missed a contested touchdown.
Facing Las Vegas in a matchup projected for plenty of offense, Watkins offers sneaky upside. Our models project him for around 2 receptions and 37 receiving yards, but the heavy injury depletion gives him an expanded target ceiling. Owned in only 2% of leagues, he profiles as a viable deep-league flier.

Emmett Johnson vs NYJ — Explosive Change-of-Pace Value at Home
Operating as Kansas City's primary change-of-pace back behind Kenneth Walker, Johnson recently broke out with a 73-yard touchdown catch and has seen his roster rate climb to 46%. With backup Brashard Smith sidelined, Johnson has solidified his grip on the RB2 role in Andy Reid's offense.
Kansas City enters as heavy home favorites against the Jets in a projected high-scoring matchup. Our projections forecast roughly 38 total yards on 4 carries and 2 catches (6.9 fantasy points). Given his dynamic big-play ability, Johnson profiles as an upside deep-league play with strong stash value.
