David Johnson 2020 Outlook
As ESPN's Matthew Berry noted, Johnson moves to Houston in a deal that may have caused those in the NFL to scratch their heads but had fantasy managers rejoicing. Johnson is a very good pass-catcher (he had 36 receptions in the first six games last season and his 52.5 receiving yards per game in that span was second among running backs). Since he entered the NFL in 2015, only he and Christian McCaffrey have logged seasons of 800-plus rushing yards and receiving yards. According to NFL.com, especially with DeAndre Hopkins gone, Johnson has the potential to be precisely the type of weapon Deshaun Watson needs. In turn, the mobile Watson should help Johnson thrive, given that Johnson won't face nearly as many loaded boxes as he did during his best campaigns, when Carson Palmer was under center. Johnson logged just 130 touches in 2019 with the Cardinals, so he should be fresh and ready to go when the NFL season gets underway. The flip side of that is, Johnson made just nine starts while dealing with injuries and falling behind Kenyan Drake on the Cardinals' depth chart. Bottom line? In Houston Johnson will be in a position to succeed -- he just has to stay on the field.

David Johnson 2019 Outlook
The hiring of new HC Kliff Kingsbury and selection of QB Kyler Murray in April's draft will lead to considerable change, but getting Johnson back to his 2016 level of production will be of great importance for the Cardinals. As ESPN.com pointed out, Johnson has averaged a 75 percent carry share and 17 percent target share in the 40 games since taking on lead back duties in Week 13 of the 2015 season. But he needs to be put in a better position to excel. "He's a mismatch in space," Kingsbury said. "I can't wait for our offensive coaches to be able to get their hands on him. ..." Worth noting, Texas Tech used multiple running backs in Kingsbury's years there, but the most catches a running back had in any season was DeAndre Washington's 41 in 2015 (and that was the fourth-highest total on the team). However, as AZCardinals.com's Darren Urban suggests, coaching at the NFL level can change things. Right now, even with Larry Fitzgerald returning, Johnson could battle Christian Kirk to be the second-best pass catcher in a wide-open, pass-first Arizona offense. But again, the Cardinals are in the same spot with Johnson that they found themselves in 2017 and 2018: They need him to be great. Kingsbury has to create ways to make that happen.

David Johnson 2018 Outlook
Johnson -- obviously - will be a crucial component in new OC Mike McCoy's offense. Remember, entering 2017 the bulk of the Cardinals' offensive plans were built squarely around Johnson and what he possesses in terms of a punishing running game and his abilities as an elite pass receiver. Those hopes were dashed after his season-ending wrist injury in Week 1, but Johnson's wrist is healed and he's anxious to play again, especially given that he doesn't even feel like he played football in 2017. "Football can end in the blink of an eye," Johnson said. "I feel more grateful to where I'll do as much as I can to stay on that field as long as I can." While there are questions at QB and along the offensive line, with his strength and full range of motion having returned fantasy owners can expect to see Johnson on the field a lot. It certainly seems safe to assume OC Mike McCoy is ready to ride Johnson as both a rusher and receiver. Will it be to the same degree that Bruce Arians did? We expect that to be the case, especially in PPR formats given McCoy's relatively pass-happy offensive approach.
