NFL 2018: Top 12 0.5 PPR NFL Fantasy Running Backs

#4 David Johnson - Arizona Cardinals - 2017 total = 13

Washington Redskins v Arizona Cardinals

First of all, let's ignore DJ's score from last year. Most of you will know that he injured his wrist in the first game of the season and ended up needing surgery. So let's take a look at his 2016 season where he really came to prominence. Johnson rushed for 1239 yards and 16 touchdowns, while accumulating 879 yards and 4 TDs in the passing game.

Johnson is the undoubted 3 down back in the Cardinals offense, which sees Sam Bradford behind center for the first time. Bradford will start the season, despite the Cardinals trading up to get Josh Rosen in this year's draft. From his time in Minnesota, Bradford has shown he can be highly accurate at short and intermediate passes, which should lead to high levels of usage in the passing game for DJ.

Johnson has exceptional speed, safe hands, and is tough to bring down. I expect 2018 to be another big year for the former 3rd round pick out of Northern Iowa.
