From the episode

He's averaging 31 and a half opportunities per game right now, 23 and a half carries eight targets. I would gladly take 25 opportunities per game from here on out. And if that gives an extra three, four or five touches to Emmitt Johnson per game, that is totally fine.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Walker averaging 31.5 opportunities per game; losing 5–6 touches to Johnson is acceptable.

Walker is averaging 31.5 opportunities per game (23.5 carries, 8 targets) through two weeks and looks like the best running back in the NFL. The source notes that even if Emmett Johnson earns more touches, reducing Walker's opportunities to 25 per game with Johnson getting 3–5 extra touches is acceptable, as the reduction would come from between-the-twenties carries (low-value work). The source drafted Walker 11th–13th overall and remains confident in his long-term value despite the emergence of Johnson.
