Avoided 22 tackles on 34 touches this season. For reference, Jonathan Taylor has 23 in 169 touches. Derrick Henry is at 21 on 170. James Cook has 23 on 150. That's nucking futs, man! It's tough to expect too much here with Kansas City limiting the explosive rookie to six or fewer touches in all but one game this season, but hey, it'd also make a lot of sense if Johnson's big Week 8 earned him more work.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Johnson's elite tackle avoidance (22 on 34 touches) rivals elite backs; limited touch volume.

Avoided 22 tackles on 34 touches this season; for reference, Jonathan Taylor has 23 in 169 touches, Derrick Henry is at 21 on 170, and James Cook has 23 on 150. Electrifying Week 8 performance deservedly landed him in mainstream Week 9 waiver wire coverage, but source notes we're still looking at someone with six or fewer touches in all but one game this season. Arguable S Tier handcuff, but probably not someone to actively flex this week.
