If you watched Week 2's Chiefs game, you now know why I listed Johnson as a preemptive addition. Johnson was quick, agile, powerful, and physical. Now a popular Week 3 waiver-wire addition, you're likely out of luck unless you're in a shallow league with 8-10 teams and small roster sizes. If you have Ken Walker III, it's important you consider Johnson as your quality backup, especially when Walker is on pace for a record workload and has a history of missing games.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Johnson's elite Week 2 film earns him consideration as Walker III's backup amid workload concerns.

Johnson demonstrated elite traits in Week 2 against the Chiefs—quick, agile, powerful, and physical—earning immediate preemptive addition status. He is now a popular Week 3 waiver-wire addition and should be considered as a quality backup to Ken Walker III, especially given Walker's record workload pace and injury history.
