Emmett JohnsonKC
Johnson is Fanelli's Round 16 value at ADP 191.3. Even after signing Kenneth Walker III to a massive contract in free agency, the Chiefs spent a mid-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Johnson. The rookie could see enough volume to be a flex option in deeper leagues. Yet, the former Nebraska star's fantasy value primarily comes as Walker's handcuff. Unfortunately, the star running back has struggled to stay healthy when given a featured workload, meaning Johnson will have must-start weeks this season when Walker inevitably misses time.
