Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings on Emmett Johnson
ArticleHayden Winks 2026 Half-PPR rankings analysis: Emmett Johnson
From the article
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.
