Don't get too excited about Johnson's 128 receiving yards and a touchdown on five catches in Week 8. After all, he only played 19% of the snaps. The real shock is that he's still available in over 80% of leagues. The fifth-round rookie has been a must-add in all formats for a while, as the high-upside backup behind Kenneth Walker III. The only difference after this week, is that Johnson might begin to provide some flex potential even with Walker healthy.

Johnson available in 80% of leagues; high-upside stash one injury from stardom.

Johnson posted 128 receiving yards and a touchdown on five catches in Week 8 despite playing only 19% of snaps. The source notes he is still available in over 80% of leagues and calls him a must-add in all formats as a high-upside backup behind Kenneth Walker III. The source suggests Johnson might begin to provide flex potential even with Walker healthy and recommends not being timid with FAB bids, as he is one injury away from stardom and one of the best stashes to have on your bench.
