Kansas City traded up to take Emmett Johnson with the 161st overall pick in the draft, adding the Nebraska product to a revamped backfield alongside free agency splash signing Ken Walker III and Emari Demercado. “He’s a juke button, he has very good feet, vision, feel, and he’s very good out of the backfield,” Nutt said of Johnson, 22, who posted an astounding 100th percentile College Dominator Rating at Nebraska along with a 99th percentile College Target Share.

Arrowhead Pride’s Ron Kop, Jr. said the rookie is “projected to be the immediate backup to Walker in the lead-back role, but don’t be surprised if Johnson earns his way onto the field on pass downs or in other situations.” Johnson was a monster producer evidenced by 1,823 total yards in 2025 and is the perfect upside pick in the second and third rounds of dynasty rookie drafts.
