STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Johnson's efficiency and Andy Reid's snap increase make him a game-script gem in large field tournaments.

Johnson is a high-efficiency running back (top-two in efficiency metrics alongside Ken Walker) who Andy Reid has explicitly stated will get more snaps this week. At a low salary with the Chiefs as double-digit favorites over Miami, Johnson represents a classic game-script play for large field DFS tournaments. If the Chiefs build a lead, Johnson should see increased volume, and there is no cheaper running back option on the slate that Trevor Lawrence is excited to play. This is positioned as a contrarian, high-upside play in 150-lineup GPPs.
