Johnson wasn't going to have standalone value anyway, so Monday is good news for his fantasy value on two fronts. First, Walker's massive usage increases the chances of an injury absence at some point this season. Second, Johnson's strong play increases the chances he'd take advantage if that were to happen. There are other ways it can play out of course, but Johnson belongs at/near the top of any handcuff rankings after Week 1.

Negative signalValue

Johnson's strong play and Walker's heavy usage make him a top handcuff after Week 1.

Johnson got most of his work in garbage time but took a short pass for a 25-yard gain early in the fourth quarter, breaking two tackles to set KC up for the clinching score; the source says Johnson 'belongs at/near the top of any handcuff rankings after Week 1' because Walker's massive usage increases injury-absence risk and Johnson's strong play increases the chances he'd capitalize if that occurs.
