Kenneth Walker Injured, Latest Rumors on Chiefs RB vs. Falcons and Emmett Johnson Fantasy Outlook

After being a late addition to the injury report on Friday, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III won't play in Week 10.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Chiefs are going to hold Walker out of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons due to a groin injury because they "want to give him a week" rather than try to force him to play through it.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport added the injury is considered "minor" and the Chiefs want to exercise caution with Walker.

From a fantasy perspective, Emmett Johnson should be a late addition to your roster on the waiver wire as he gets set to make his first career start. He is only rostered in 33 percent of leagues right now, per FantasyPros.

Johnson was arguably the best player on the field for the Chiefs two weeks ago in their 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos. He had 128 receiving yards and one touchdown on five receptions, as well as one carry for 15 yards in just 13 offensive snaps.

Even though Atlanta's defense has been strong against the run, ranking third in EPA per rush, the ability Johnson showed as a receiver significantly boosts his fantasy value.
