From the article

Johnson has been spectacular in his own right. On an admittedly small sample (10 rushing attempts), his 0.9 missed tackles forced per attempt leads the NFL by a vast margin. Johnson was a three-down back at Nebraska, and runs with a vigor that's familiar to Andy Reid's backfields... he's made the most of his limited opportunities and should be rostered in all formats. His role could continue to expand, and an injury to Walker would push him into the top 15.

Johnson's 0.9 missed tackles per attempt leads NFL; roster in all formats.

Despite Ken Walker III reshaping the Chiefs offense, Johnson has been spectacular in limited opportunities. On 10 rushing attempts, he leads the NFL with 0.9 missed tackles forced per attempt. A three-down back at Nebraska who runs with vigor familiar to Andy Reid's backfields, Johnson has no chance of taking the lead job but should be rostered in all formats; his role could continue to expand, and an injury to Walker would push him into the top 15.
