Impetuous fantasy managers might be tempted to splurge on Emmett Johnson after his banner receiving performance in Week 8. Johnson had 5-128-1 on five targets, scoring on a screen pass that went for 73 yards. But there's no reliable stand-alone value here. Johnson played 12 of the Chiefs' 68 offensive snaps on Sunday.

Johnson's Week 8 explosion was a mirage; valuable only as Walker III handcuff.

Impetuous fantasy managers might be tempted to splurge on Johnson after his banner receiving performance in Week 8, when he had 5-128-1 on five targets, scoring on a screen pass that went for 73 yards. However, there is no reliable stand-alone value here; Johnson played only 12 of the Chiefs' 68 offensive snaps on Sunday. He is a key handcuff to Kenneth Walker III and would become immensely valuable if Walker were to miss time, but don't overbid.
