Draft note

by John Paulsen

Johnson should be a shoo-in for 280+ touches as long as he can stay healthy. (Carlos Hyde saw 255 last year and only caught 10 passes!) Through the first six games, prior to injury, Johnson was the No. 5 fantasy running back and is currently the 20th back off the board. He wasn’t particularly efficient in his touches, but I doubt that Bill O’Brien makes that trade for him and limits his workload in any way. I’d love to see Duke Johnson in this feature role, but I just don’t see it happening without an injury to David.

Texans Beat: RB David Johnson's Week 5 rushing numbers misleading

The Athletic

Oct 12 · 8:26 PM EDT

On 11 first-down carries, David Johnson's first-down success rate — a measure of how often a player gains at least 40 percent of the yards needed to either move the chains or score in a goal-to-go situation — was just 45.5 percent.

For context, Johnson’s 42.5 percent first-down success rate on the season ranks 18th out of 20 running backs with at least 60 carries. So although Johnson was better against the Jaguars, he still left a lot to be desired.

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson had a 29-yard run on the final drive of the game when the contest was already over. Johnson finished with 17 carries for 97 yards but was over thrown on a ball in the end zone that could have been a touchdown.

HOU RB David Johnson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Tennessee Titans
Facing a poor Jaguars run defense last Sunday, David Johnson led the Texans with a season-high of 17 carries and 96 yards on the ground. He received all but five of the team’s rushing attempts and will continue to be the workhorse under interim head coach Romeo Crennel. While Johnson hasn’t scored in two straight he has a good matchup this week against a poor Titans run defense. Continue using him as an RB2 play.
