From the article

Sunday in Denver was finally that week, with Johnson leading the Chiefs in both aerial yards and yards from scrimmage while also posting the team's longest gain, a 73-yard touchdown. Johnson was also grinding out tough gains on the ground, and might have finally made this a two-back backfield.

Johnson leads Chiefs in receiving yards and posts 73-yard TD; activate him.

Johnson finally got more involved as a pass catcher in Week 8 against Denver, leading the Chiefs in both aerial yards and yards from scrimmage while posting the team's longest gain, a 73-yard touchdown. Johnson was also grinding out tough gains on the ground and might have finally made this a two-back backfield with Kenneth Walker III. The Chiefs are starved for play-making ability, and besides Walker, Johnson appears to have more of it than any other Chief. Fantasy managers who have been stashing him on deep benches should consider activating him in Week 9 against the Jets.
