Draft note

by John Paulsen

The former second-rounder racked up 96 touches in his first five games, but only averaged 3.28 YPC in that span and finished with 3.57 YPC on the season. He missed eight games in 2019 after missing six games the year before, so the Lions drafted D’Andre Swift (also in the second round). This will likely be a committee, but since Johnson’s YPC tanked in 2019 (down from 5.4 as a rookie) and he hasn’t proven to be durable, Swift figures to be the lead back.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift leads the way in backfield

Touches for DET RBs yesterday:

* D'Andre Swift 13 (28 snaps)
* Adrian Peterson 12 (19 snaps)
* Kerryon Johnson 0 (14 snaps)

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like Swift has made the climb to the top in terms of RB usage for the Lions. While Peterson ran 11 times to Swift's 9, Swift continue to lead the way in the passing game collecting four catches this past week. He's a safer option in PPR formats, but seems to be trending up in terms of overall usage.

DET RB Kerryon Johnson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 – Kerryon Johnson vs. Chicago Bears
With D’Andre Swift expected to miss the opener due to a leg injury, Kerryon Johnson will get a chance to prove he deserves to retain the Lions top RB position. The former second-round pick has shown positive signs when he’s been able to stay healthy - rushing for over 1,000 yards, snagging 54 passes and scoring eight total times in just 18 pro games. Even though Adrian Peterson was recently added to the roster, Johnson should be the featured back on Sunday, receiving around 15 touches. Play him as an RB2.
