Texans still plan to use a committee at RB

Deepi Sidhu on Twitter

Aug 31 · 1:40 PM EDT

HC David Culley says Texans will have a running back by committee approach in games, much like in the preseason.

Related players: David Johnson, Mark Ingram, Phillip Lindsay

Fantasy Impact:

While this hasn't changed, something that has is reports seem to indicate it will be Ingram on the early downs with Johnson as the third down back, now leaving Lindsay as the perhaps the odd man out or the change of pace back. This backfield looks to be more of a mess than anything and none of the backs really present any must-have fantasy value at this point. There's certainly a chance one of them steps up to have value once the season gets going, but they will likely still be risky fantasy plays in this offense.

HOU RB David Johnson - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Cardinals

David Johnson saw pretty much the same amount of field time as Mark Ingram in Week 6, but saw 11 fewer carries. That's been the theme lately with the Texans' running game and, even with all the bye weeks, Johnson is hard to trust against the red-hot Cardinals on the road.
