Availability
Emmett Johnson rushed the ball eight times for 24 yards and caught two passes for 44 yards in Monday night's 31-10 win over the Denver Broncos.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie looked good in his NFL debut on Monday night, totaling 68 yards on ten opportunities against one of the NFL's best defensive fronts. Kenneth Walker III is clearly the bellcow running back on this offense, but it looks like Johnson has solidified himself as the RB2 and will continue to play an important depth role for the Chiefs over the course of the season.
The Chiefs signed RB Emmett Johnson to his rookie deal.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson was a fifth-round pick of Kansas City. He will compete for a depth role in the Chiefs backfield.
The Kansas City Chiefs have selected RB Emmett Johnson with the No. 161 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact
The Kansas City Chiefs made a massive splash in free agency, signing Kenneth Walker III. However, the depth behind him was extremely thin, with Brashard Smith as the next man up. Emmett Johnson should be the Chiefs' No. 2 running back and has fantasy upside, especially given Walker's injury history.
