News: 2 hours agoJohnson is in line to be Kenneth Walker's backup for the Chiefs this season.
Spin: The Chiefs had final roster cutdowns Sunday and waived veteran Emari Demercado, clearing a path to a role for Johnson. The rookie out of Nebraska impressed throughout training camp and the preseason. Kansas City also has Brashard Smith on the roster, but Johnson may be the handcuff to target for fantasy managers.
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.
