Running Back Rank: #26
Overall: #49
Johnson missed four games in the middle of the season because of a knee injury, which obviously hurt his stats. And the Chiefs went to spread offense late in the year, limiting Johnson at time. He had just three 100-yard games all season and had 20 or more carries just once his last seven games. Johnson turns 30 during the season, so he is nearing the running back wall, especially with all the carries he has under his belt. Johnson is a powerful back but lacks a little speed at this point of his career. He can still churn out the tough yards between the tackles, though.

Once the top fantasy player in the game, Johnson is more of a No. 2 back for fantasy teams. He still has a little potential, especially for TDs but his yardage numbers won't be what they once were a few years back. Don't totally count him out, especially if you consider he has played just two full seasons. He could have a little more life left than your usual 30 year old back. |
