ARI RB Chris Johnson - Week 12, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at San Francisco

Chris Johnson saw another full workload against the Bengals last week, but he only averaged 3.5 yards per carry and ended up with 65 total yards from scrimmage on the day. He remains a steady option in the Cardinals rushing attack, and currently ranks third in the NFL with 797 rushing yards on the season.

This week should be a little easier on the veteran speedster. Johnson will face the 49ers 27th-ranked rushing attack, and a defense that allowed over 200 yards on the ground to Thomas Rawls of Seattle last week. Johnson should be started in all leagues as a safe RB2 option.

ARI RB Chris Johnson - Week 11, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Cincinnati

Chris Johnson was bottled up by the stingy Seahawks run defense last week, managing only 58 yards on 25 carries. However, fantasy owners should still be encouraged by the workload he got and not be too concerned over his 2.3 yard average against the Seattle front seven. Johnson has been the primary back in Arizona most of this season and he should maintain that role.

The Bengals allow over 102 yards per game to opposing rushers, but they’ve been stingy giving up points. Only the Jets have allowed less than rushing touchdowns this season. Johnson will have a hard time putting up big numbers against this Cincinnati front seven. That being said, Johnson is still a solid RB2 option in most leagues, as he continues to get the bulk of the carries in Arizona this season and should be in for another full workload.

ARI RB Chris Johnson - Week 10, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Seattle

Chris Johnson continued his stellar play against the Browns before the bye last week, as he carried the ball 30 times and ended up with 109 yards on the ground. Johnson has been one of the biggest fantasy surprises this year and he should continue to see a full workload as long as he’s healthy.

This week, Johnson has a difficult task in front of him against the Seahawks eighth-ranked run defense. The Cardinals will try to establish a ground game, making Johnson a decent option as a low-end RB2, but the matchup limits his potential. Fantasy owners should temper their expectations for him this week.

ARI RB Chris Johnson - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Cleveland

Chris Johnson continued his resurgent season on Monday night in a victory over the Ravens. He had a full workload with 18 carries and ended up with 122 yards and a touchdown on the day. Johnson is second in the league in rushing yards and has been a main focal point for the Cardinals offense.

This week, Johnson should do very well against the worst run defense in the league. The Browns are allowing 5.1 yards per carry to opposing rushers and are giving up an average of 151 yards per game on the ground. With such a great matchup, Johnson is a borderline RB1 this week. If he gets another 18 carries, he should be an excellent fantasy option in all formats.

ARI RB Chris Johnson - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Baltimore

Chris Johnson had 14 carries and 40 yards last week in a loss to the Steelers and added five yards on a lone reception. He continues to get the lion’s share of the work in the Arizona backfield, however, and fantasy owners should continue to expect him to be active in the Cardinals offense.

This week, Johnson will face a Baltimore defense that has struggled against the pass, but has actually been effective against the run. They held Carlos Hyde to 2.6 yards per carry last week and are seventh in the league in yards per attempt allowed to opposing rushers with 3.6. Johnson gets a heavy enough workload to make him a low end RB2 option in most leagues, but fantasy owners should keep their expectations in check with this matchup.

ARI RB Chris Johnson - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Pittsburgh

Chris Johnson continues to play well this season. He had a nice 40-yard run against the Lions last week, showing he still has some playmaking skills. He finished the day with 103 yards on just 11 carries, and he ended up only playing less than 40 percent of the offensive snaps, as the Cardinals beat the snot out of Detroit.

This week, Johnson should remain the primary back in Arizona. His carries could get eaten into by Andre Ellington, but he should still be a solid option against a middle of the road run defense. Pittsburgh has actually been really good in the red zone against the run, but Johnson remains a top 25 option and worth consideration as a RB2 in most leagues.

ARI RB Chris Johnson - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Detroit

Chris Johnson is enjoying a bit of a career resurgence in Arizona this season. He is fifth in the NFL in rushing yardage and is averaging 4.4 yards per carry, his best average since 2012. He had 83 yards on 16 carries last week against the Rams, and added three catches for 11 yards in the passing game.

This week, Johnson faces a vulnerable Detroit rush defense. While they held backup running back Thomas Rawls in check last week against Seattle, they’ve allowed five rushing touchdowns this season, and are in the bottom half of the league in yards per carry and yards per game allowed. However, the probable return of Andre Ellington could eat into Johnson’s touches, making him a little bit risky to bank on. It’s unlikely that the Cardinals phase him out completely after he’s run so well, but fantasy owners should view him as a low-end RB2 rather than a top option.
