STACKED’s take
Johnson's 128 receiving yards and TD spark breakout week; positioned for more opportunity.
Chiefs rookie running back won Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week in Week 8 after a breakout performance against Denver with 128 receiving yards (most by any NFL running back in a single game this season and the only 100-yard receiving-yard game by any back), 5 catches on 8 routes, a 73-yard touchdown (longest play by the Chiefs this season), and a 15-yard run with multiple missed tackles forced; totaled 143 yards for the game (fourth-highest by a Chiefs player this year behind lead back Kenneth Walker's top-3 performances). On the season, Johnson has 314 yards from scrimmage on 34 touches with 11 chain-moving plays and should see increased opportunity as the season progresses.
