From the episode

I think it's Emmett Johnson I don't think Najee Harris in that I mean we're not seeing anybody in that uh week to week backfield yeah this is one of them rankings versus projections sort of or stash first projections because Harris will consistently project higher because week to week he's going to get six or seven touches right Johnson won't but if the starter gets hurt Harris goes up a little because they'll use multiple backs no no Harris Harris a little but if Walker goes out Johnson way up there

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Johnson is the better stash; massive upside if Walker gets injured.

Emmett Johnson is the strongest bench stash over Najee Harris; while Harris will consistently project higher due to week-to-week touches (six to seven per game), Johnson is the better stash because if starter Kenneth Walker goes out, Johnson's value increases significantly, whereas Harris only sees a modest bump if his starter is injured due to the Steelers' multi-back approach.
