BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
OWNED IN: 3% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The last thing David Johnson owners wanted to see was exactly what happened on Sunday. It may not be a season-ending injury, but DJ is expected to miss 2-3 months and was put on injured reserve.
When Johnson went out of the game the first time with an apparent rib injury, Kerwynn Williams got the call and plunged in the end zone. He wound up with just 10 yards on five carries and shared time with Andre Ellington, but he impressed in the preseason and earned the backup running back job.
He's never been a starter before, but could serve well in the role. Williams owns a career average of 5.6 Y/A, and must be considered a high-priority waiver wire pickup since Johnson is indeed out for a while.
