Duke Johnson Has Upside In Week 1
5 years agoHouston Texans running back Duke Johnson makes his living as a receiving back, which should allow him to perform well on Monday night against a Saints team that was susceptible to passing plays in 2018. Johnson's got some risk, though, because the Texans under Bill O'Brien haven't traditionally gotten their backs much pass-game usage, and because Carlos Hyde will take some early-down work. Johnson should have the upside to be worth a flex play against this defense, though we'll know a lot more about Johnson's usage after this contest.
