Scouting report

ARI RB David Johnson - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. New Orleans

David Johnson didn’t find the end zone last week against Miami, but he still turned in a solid day with 20 carries and five receptions for a total of 121 yards from scrimmage. Johnson has been one of the most consistent players in fantasy football this season and leads the league in yards from scrimmage with 1,830. He also leads the league with 15 total touchdowns.

New Orleans is tied for 24th in the league with 14 rushing touchdowns allowed this year, but even if it wasn’t a good matchup, Johnson would be a must-start in all league formats as an RB1. He’s an elite fantasy back and if you have him, be happy you made the choice to draft him this year and leave him active every week.

ARI RB David Johnson - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Miami

David Johnson once climbed Mt. Everest and when he reached the top, Mt. Everest had to climb back down David Johnson. He had another fantastic day last week against Washington, rushing for 84 yards and a touchdown while adding 91 yards and another touchdown on nine receptions. He’s one of the most consistent fantasy options in all league formats right now and is just a monster.

While Miami has only given up nine rushing touchdowns this season, they give up the third most rushing yards per game and third highest yards per rushing attempt. Johnson is a must-start every week regardless of the matchup, but he’s likely to cause nightmares for the Dolphins this week.

ARI RB David Johnson - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Washington

David Johnson once punched a biker in the face, and the biker apologized for bloodying Johnson’s knuckle. Johnson punched him again for thinking it was possible for him to bleed, and the biker thanked him for the education. Seriously, David Johnson is a bad man. He only had 58 yards on 13 carries against the Falcons last week, but he added 103 yards and a touchdown on eight receptions. He’s made a habit this season of supplementing rushing numbers with top level statistics in the passing game.

This week, Johnson faces a Washington defense that ranks dead last in rushing touchdowns allowed to opposing teams and only San Francisco allows more yards per carry this year. Johnson is our top option and should be active in all leagues as an RB1. Never sit him.

ARI RB David Johnson - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Atlanta

David Johnson had another excellent game last week against a very good Vikings defense. Not only did he have 103 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries, he added 57 yards and another touchdown on seven receptions. Johnson is what makes the Cardinal offense go, and he’s been one of the best fantasy players this season in all leagues.

The Falcons have been very average against the run this season, allowing nine rushing touchdowns and 102.9 yards per game on the ground. Regardless of the matchup however, Johnson should be active in all leagues as an elite RB1 option. With how active he is in the passing game as well as his effectiveness running the ball, he’s already becoming one of the best in the league.

ARI RB David Johnson - Week 11, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Minnesota

David Johnson doesn’t play basketball, but if they make a Space Jam 2, the Monstars may want to steal some of his powers as well. This guy has been a fantasy demon this year, putting up numbers in the run game, the passing game, and in the end zone. He had 24 touches last week against the 49ers, including five receptions, for a total of 101 yards and two touchdowns. He’s tied for third in the league with 10 touchdowns and has been an elite fantasy option every week.

He faces a tough Vikings defense this week, but should still be active in all league formats. While the Vikings are tied for first in the league with only four rushing touchdowns allowed this year, they’ve looked a little less dominant lately and nearly gave up a 100 yards to Robert Kelley of Washington last week. Johnson should still get 20+ touches and find enough room to put in a quality RB1 day, and he’s a must start every week regardless of the matchup.

ARI RB David Johnson - Week 10, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. San Francisco

David Johnson only had 24 yards on 10 carries against the Panthers before the bye last week, but he supplemented that total with 84 yards on seven receptions, turning in a nice fantasy day overall, especially in PPR formats. Johnson has been an elite option all season and his ability to supplement his rushing totals with production in the passing game separates him from other quality fantasy backs.

He’s a must start every week, but this week especially. The 49ers have given up 12 rushing touchdowns so far this season, and nobody has given up more total points per game. Additionally, San Francisco is allowing an absurd 193 rushing yards per game! Expect a full workload for Johnson and a huge output in such a great matchup.

ARI RB David Johnson - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Carolina
David Johnson has been lights out all year. He’s second in the league in rushing, and is coming off a game where he had 33 carries and eight receptions for a total of 171 yards against a tough Seattle defense. He didn’t find the end zone, but he’s an elite option each and every week.

This week, he faces a Panthers defense that is actually seventh in the league in rushing yards allowed per game at only 89.5, but the team has struggled overall defensively, ranking in the bottom four teams with 29.3 points per game allowed. Expect big things from Johnson and he should be active in all leagues as an elite RB, regardless of matchup.
