Johnson leaked out of the backfield for a 73-yard catch-and-run score on a perfect floater from Patrick Mahomes II against all-out pressure, and added 70 more total yards on his five other touches.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Johnson's 143 yards and TD on limited touches make him a 15-30% FAAB target with lead-back upside.

Johnson leaked out of the backfield for a 73-yard catch-and-run touchdown on a perfect floater from Patrick Mahomes II against all-out pressure, adding 70 more total yards on five other touches for 143 total yards and a score. Bloom recommends a 15-30% FAAB bid and suggests him as a what-the-heck flex against the Jets in Week 9. Johnson carries a very high ceiling if Ken Walker III goes down, as the Chiefs are committed to the run and Walker has never held up for a full season as a lead back.
