Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Emmett Johnson

VideoWeek 2 Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings and Tiers: Time for McCaffrey man...September 16, 2026

From the video

Chiefs running back EMTT Johnson. This dude was on fire out there. Led the week in tackles avoided per touch. Looked explosive. Great stuff from the rookie priority handcuff grab on the old waiver wire... I still worry a little bit with Kareem Hunting out there, but hey, making plays.

Chiefs rookie led Week 1 in tackles avoided; priority waiver grab.

Chiefs running back led Week 1 in tackles avoided per touch and looked explosive; ranked top in the 'cool stuff' metric (total touchdowns, explosive plays, and tackles avoided divided by carries and targets). Priority handcuff grab on waivers despite Kareem Hunt's presence in the backfield; Ian Hartitz notes Hunt may not even take over the backfield from this point forward.
