RotoWire NFL Articles on Emmett Johnson
From the article
If Walker were to miss time you might not see much difference in Demercado's workload from scrimmage – much or most of the work might just transfer to Johnson, who's a better pure runner and especially a better receiver than Demercado.
STACKED’s take
Johnson positioned to inherit scrimmage work if Walker misses time.
Johnson will likely begin the year as the RB2 behind Kenneth Walker as a rookie fifth-round pick, but investors need to be patient. If Demercado initially plays ahead of Johnson, it will likely be due to Demercado being better in blitz pickup. The Chiefs intend to give steady or heavy work from scrimmage to Walker, and will probably offload blitz pickup work to Demercado. However, if the Chiefs' priority shifts to producing from scrimmage, Johnson would likely prove superior. Johnson is a better pure runner and especially a better receiver than Demercado, and probably a better receiver than Walker too. If Walker misses time, much or most of the work might transfer to Johnson rather than Demercado.
