Duke Johnson Is Risky Option In Week 16
5 years agoHouston Texans running back Duke Johnson has essentially been rendered a non-factor in the run game down the stretch, with just three carries over Houston's last two games. He had been gaining steam as a receiving threat, but against the Titans on Sunday he was targeted just three times, catching two passes for 19 yards. With this recent usage in mind, it becomes very tough to justify starting him in most fantasy leagues in Week 16 against a Buccaneers Defense that's managed to hold opposing running backs in check for most of this season. Consider Johnson a risky RB4 option in PPR and off your radar entirely in standard scoring.
