Dynasty Points on Emmett Johnson

Johnson impressed as number-two back; premier handcuff with all-situation trust.

Johnson looked phenomenal in week one, earning the number-two running back role over veteran Amari Di Mercado despite preseason competition. He started the second drive of the game and played in all game situations, positioning him as a premier handcuff who can be trusted in high-value touch situations if he ever gets a lead role. The source notes Johnson was always viewed as a contingent play given his smaller, slower college profile and lack of elite per-touch advanced metrics, but his week-one performance was a very positive outcome.
