From the episode

Emmitt Johnson, who also runs hard and is shifty. And they've already said, because Kenneth Walker has been used so heavily and featured so heavily the first two weeks, they want to get Emmitt Johnson even more involved

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Johnson to get more involved; Chiefs easing Walker's load for season.

Johnson runs hard and is shifty; the Chiefs plan to get him more involved going forward to take some of the load away from Kenneth Walker and ensure long-term production of both running backs over the course of the season.
