News: 4 days agoJohnson turned three carries into six yards and caught two of three targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 22-6 win over the Chargers. He also returned two kickoffs for 50 yards.

Spin: Johnson maintained his rotational role in the Chiefs offense, with his 18 offensive snaps well behind Kenneth Walker's 45. Given Walker's tremendous start to the season, Johnson is one of the premier handcuff running backs in fantasy, and his scoring floor would rise significantly if the former ever misses time. The Chiefs will take their 5-0 record on the road for Week 7 against the Seahawks on Oct. 25.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Johnson was selected by the Chiefs in the fifth round of April's draft. His career 3.4 forced missed tackle rate is fourth best in this RB rookie class and his elusiveness helped him to 1,451 rushing yards (fourth in the nation and first in this class) last season. His lack of speed -- last among 10 RBs who ran the 40-yard dash (4.56) and speed score (93) at the combine -- and size limits him after initial contact (career 2.86 YAC), but he can help out in the passing game (92 collegiate receptions). Johnson and Brashard Smith are set to handle No. 2/3 duties behind Kenneth Walker III. Smith will be worth rostering only if Walker misses action.
