The Facts: Starting only five games last year, Johnson averaged 4.6 yards a carry and added 36 receptions, totaling 1,038 yards of offense despite playing little the first two-thirds of the season. This year, he'll be the main running back, the man – assuming health – getting the bulk of the carries and also a target for Palmer. Already in camp Johnson has looked excellent while running routes from the slot. "The mismatches he's going to create in the passing game? It's scary," GM Steve Keim said. "It's early, but I haven't seen many like him."

Diehards Line: As we continue to look for further confirmation that Johnson will indeed handle a workhorse role for the Cardinals, the above is the latest indication. We're still ranking and drafting him as if that will be the case -- recent speculation that Chris Johnson will remain in the mix notwithstanding. And we'll continue to rank David Johnson like that until we see reason not to.
