Johnson breaks out with 128 yards and TD; first Chiefs rookie 100-yard receiver game.

Johnson suddenly became an easy-button receiver with 5 catches for 128 yards and 1 touchdown on five targets, including a 73-yard touchdown. The Chiefs have not had a stellar No. 3 receiver in a while, and with Rashee Rice back and Travis Kelce non-explosive, it makes sense for the Chiefs to feed Johnson as a receiver. Johnson became the first Chiefs rookie to wind up with a 100-yard game as a receiver, and he simply has to be rostered in all leagues after this performance.
