Kenneth Walker Misses Friday Practice

Kenneth Walker sat out of the Chiefs' Friday practice due to a tight groin.

Walker, who is listed as questionable, is currently second in the NFL in rushing yards and tied for ninth in rushing touchdowns. He's run for over 100 yards in five of his eight games.

Walker would obviously be a huge miss for the Chiefs offense for their Week 10 road trip to Atlanta, if the groin issue doesn't get better before kickoff.

Emmett Johnson is a name all fantasy players should know for Sunday in case Walker can't play.

Johnson, a rookie out of Nebraska, would be in line to earn the bulk of the carries against an Atlanta rushing defense that's allowed over 100 yards in four of the last five games.

There's likely already been a rush to the waiver wire to add Johnson since the Walker news broke on Friday afternoon.

Walker's former team, the Seattle Seahawks, is worth targeting on the waiver wire with Jadarian Price. Seattle faces Las Vegas' league-worst rushing defense that allows 151.2 rushing yards per game.

Ollie Gordon, who has had at least 16 carries in each of the last four games, is worth a waiver-wire add as well. Gordon and the Miami Dolphins face an Indianapolis Colts team that gives up 137 rushing yards per contest.

George Pickens Will Play Sunday

George Pickens delivered an all-time quote when he asked if he'll play on Sunday.

Pickens missed the Cowboys' Week 9 clash with the Colts due to a hamstring injury.

The Cowboys will be happy to have him on the field again in Week 10 for the clash with the NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers.

The 49ers pose a tough matchup for anyone right now, but with Pickens on the field, Dak Prescott at least has both of his top pass-catching options available to him.

Pickens' return likely means Ryan Flournoy's fantasy value will drop. He caught two balls for 53 yards last week with Pickens out.

If you don't like the matchup for Pickens, Houston's Tank Dell and New England's Demario Douglas are two of the best waiver-wire additions available because of the roles in their respective offenses.
