MIA RB Duke Johnson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Tennessee Titans

Duke Johnson's production came back down to reality thanks to Phillip Lindsay's return. Johnson finished with 13 carries for 39 yards with no touchdowns and no targets while Lindsay also saw 13 carries (for 36 yards). Myles Gaskin was still involved as well, seeing three carries and five targets. This Dolphins backfield has turned into a mess, and could be even messier if the Dolphins activate Malcolm Brown off IR following a few weeks of practice. Not only would Johnson be a bad option this week simply because of the Dolphins' backfield situation, but it's also a tough matchup against the Titans who are giving up the 2nd-fewest average fantasy points to running backs. Johnson is nothing more than a desperation flex play.

MIA RB Duke Johnson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at New Orleans Saints

Duke Johnson came out of nowhere to dominate Miami's backfield touches last week. Johnson finished with 22 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns, and caught one pass for 20 yards. His 22 rush attempts were the second-most from a Dolphins RB this season. In addition, his 25.7 PPR points are the second-most from a Dolphins RB as well. While Miami did have some RB issues last week, Myles Gaskin was healthy and active, the team just decided to lean on Johnson. We wouldn't expect Johnson to see 20+ touches again, but we wouldn't be surprised if he led Miami's backfield in touches again this week. Unfortunately, it's in a tough matchup vs. the Saints, who have given up the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs this year. Johnson will be a lower-end RB3 or flex play in Week 16 given the tough matchup.

MIA RB Duke Johnson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. New York Jets

Depending on how things shake out this week, Duke Johnson could be worth a pickup in Week 15. The Dolphins have running backs Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed, and Phillip Lindsay all placed on the COVID/Reserve list and Malcolm Brown is returning to practice for the first time this week. So there's a chance Gaskin, Ahmed, Lindsay and Brown are all unable to go, giving Duke Johnson the lead role in a favorable matchup vs. the Jets. There's also a chance Gaskin, Ahmed, Lindsay and Brown are all active and Johnson sees less than five touches. It's tough to predict Johnson's role at this point in the week, but Miami's backfield will be worth keeping an eye on this week.

UPDATE: Gaskin and Ahmed were taken off of the COVID/Reserve list, so Johnson will likely play very little this week, making him someone not worth playing in fantasy this week.

MIA RB Duke Johnson - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Carolina Panthers

The Dolphins added Duke Johnson last week, and while he's a familiar name to fantasy owners, it's hard to imagine him having a huge role in this offense. He played just six snaps last week, finishing with four carries for 18 yards with no targets. Until he starts to play more, he's not worth adding to your roster in fantasy.

HOU RB Duke Johnson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
After missing last week’s game at Indy with a neck injury, Duke Johnson should return on Sunday. However, he just isn’t seeing enough touches to warrant a fantasy start, even versus a poor Cincinnati defense.

HOU RB Duke Johnson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Indianapolis Colts
Even without David Johnson last week at Chicago, Duke Johnson was limited to 26 yards on eight carries although he somewhat salvaged the day with two grabs for 53 yards. A couple of weeks ago versus the Colts, he totaled 32 yards on eight touches, but David Johnson should be back on Sunday, so Duke Johnson should not be part of your starting lineup.

HOU RB Duke Johnson - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Chicago Bears
With David Johnson returning to the lineup last week versus the Colts, Duke Johnson was relegated to a backup role, rushing for eight yards and catching six passes for 24 yards. However, David Johnson has been added to the COVID list and will miss this week's contest in Chicago, making Duke Johnson once again the team's top back, while C.J. Prosise will also receive snaps. Duke Johnson makes for an RB3/flex option against an average Bears defense.
