Depth/upside bet — WR role isn't locked starter volume yet.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer
WatchJohnson caught 1 pass for 9 yards in 2024, finishing WR203. He scored 40% more than his touches said he should. WR82 slipped to WR203 last year; that's the warning. 2024 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
