Johnson's 128-yard, TD performance shows elite receiving upside as third-down weapon.

Rookie running back Emmett Johnson was the best player on the field for the Chiefs against the Broncos, finishing with five catches for 128 yards including a 73-yard receiving touchdown and one carry for 15 yards. Johnson is now up to 237 receiving yards on the year and has been terrific on third downs, which is huge for spelling lead back Kenneth Walker. The source highlights Johnson's agility and balance in the hole, noting his ability to make defenders miss and execute on designed plays against Denver's coverage schemes. The source argues the Chiefs should probably throw the ball less and feature Johnson and Walker more often in the run game to keep Walker fresher for explosive plays.
