Fantasy Football Update: Johnson Out at KC?

Kansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson, a two-time Pro Bowl player, has a sprained right foot and is 'highly unlikely' for Sunday's game against Denver according to coach Herm Edwards.

Edwards declined to speculate on how long Johnson might be out, saying he did not have enough information. "He's got a swollen foot right now so that's not good," he said.

Johnson's foot got caught under the weight of A.J. Hawk and twisted awkwardly as the Green Bay linebacker dragged him down from behind in the fourth quarter Sunday of the Packers' 33-22 victory. He was on crutches as he left the stadium.

Fantasy Football Impact: Johnson's absence brings in the opportunity for old-timer Priest Holmes to try and make a comeback. If you have roster room AND are desperate, pick the old fart up!
