Emmett Johnson fantasy football insight from Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings

An analytics darling, Johnson never did it for me on tape. He passes the threshold of being crafty enough to theoretically see touches on early downs in a change-of-pace role, but it's hard to see Johnson playing in short-yardage situations given his size and inability to plow through defenders. Johnson did catch the ball cleanly and ran more routes than basic checkdowns. It's his best path as a pro, especially on the Chiefs where nothing is established behind early-down extraordinaire Kenneth Walker. Johnson versus 2025 7th-rounder Brashard Smith is worth tracking in full PPR leagues and at the very end of best ball drafts. I'd make Johnson the slight favorite for 10+ touches per game in the event Walker missed time because unlike Smith, Johnson carried the load in college for multiple seasons.
