STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Johnson is a stash candidate if available; waiting costs too much FAAB later.

Jeremy Bernard recommends stashing Johnson if he's been dropped, as he represents the type of handcuff or upside player who could become essential if an injury occurs; waiting to pick up such players later forces teams to spend 95% of remaining FAAB budget.
