Fantasy Life Articles on Emmett Johnson

Johnson's 128 receiving yards and TD show flex upside despite Walker's carry dominance.

Chiefs rookie Emmett Johnson has flashed playmaking ability despite Kenneth Walker holding 85% of team carries; Johnson exploded for 128 receiving yards on five catches including a 73-yard touchdown in Week 8, adding 15 yards on his lone carry. The fifth-round pick out of Nebraska has been one of the bigger surprises among rookie skill players in the first half of the season. With Kansas City's +4.9 pass rate over expected ranking fourth in the league and Patrick Mahomes enabling running backs in the passing game, Johnson is building a case for flex status and has league-winning upside should Walker suffer injury.
