Emmett Johnson at LV — Expanding Change-of-Pace Role in High-Scoring AFC West Showdown

Serving as the direct backup to Kenneth Walker in Kansas City's backfield, Emmett Johnson has earned high praise from head coach Andy Reid and running backs coach DeMarco Murray over the past two weeks. Reid noted plans to gradually expand Johnson's snap share to relieve Walker's heavy workload, giving the rookie steady opportunities on both early downs and passing situations.

Despite his ascending profile and roster rate climbing to nearly 46%, Johnson remains started in just 3% of leagues. Our weekly projection slates him for 4.8 fantasy points on roughly 4 to 5 rushes and a catch against Las Vegas. In a game with shootout potential, Johnson is not yet trustworthy for starting lineups, but he makes for an appealing bench stash with contingency value.
