Duke Johnson Is Risky Week 1 Option
4 years agoHouston Texans running back Duke Johnson carries a lot of fantasy risk heading into Houston's Week 1 meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. While the Chiefs allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to backs last season, Duke Johnson's projected role now that Houston's acquired David Johnson is hard to predict. The best thing for fantasy managers to do at this point with Duke is to keep him on the bench until we're able to see how the workload shakes out between the two backs. Don't drop him from your fantasy rosters, though, as David Johnson's injury history could lead to a large role for Duke this season.
