Paulsen's Draft Notes

David Johnson (RB - ARI)

Johnson finished No. 8 as a rookie and No. 1 as a sophomore before suffering what turned out to be a season-ending wrist injury in Week 1 of the 2017 season. He should be back to full health this summer and will serve as the team’s offensive focal point along with Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals’ offensive line is pretty strong in the run game, so Johnson should have another productive season despite the loss of Carson Palmer.

Week 15 at Atlanta Falcons

David Johnson has been disappointing three games in a row, averaging only 70.7 yards from scrimmage during that span and failing to find the end zone. Johnson is still getting a full workload, including eight receptions and 15 carries last week against the Lions, providing optimism for fantasy owners who need him for the playoffs.

This week, Johnson has high upside against a Falcons defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to the running back position this year. While it’s hard to trust him after such a frustrating season, his workload gives him a high floor and the matchup makes him a must-start. We have him as a top-10 option this week in all league formats.
