Johnson came back from VFL and delivered 58 in a 14-point ESS loss to GWS — beats his 39 BE but this is his first AFL game in several rounds after being dropped post-R3. The inconsistency (76, 26, then a VFL stint, now 58) makes him hard to trust as a cash cow, but at $263.2k with a 39 BE the ceiling is still there if he holds selection. Watch for R10 selection confirmation — if he's named again, the BE is low enough to generate some cash, but don't buy until he strings two scores together.
