When to pick David Johnson in your fantasy football draft

Assessing Houston Texans RB David Johnson’s 2020 ADP and fantasy football draft value. Is he a sleeper or bust? Undervalued or overvalued?

Fantasy football season is in the air and the unique offseason is causing more questions than answers as we enter our fantasy football drafts. Below, we focus on Houston Texans RB David Johnson and his fantasy football potential this season.

David Johnson’s fantasy football ADP

Johnson’s current average draft position (ADP) is 39.98, ranking 21st among running backs and 40th among all players on MyFantasyLeague.com. Johnson, who played his first five seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, has been taken as high as No. 2 overall and is owned in 85 percent of leagues.

Reasons to draft David Johnson

  • Everyone will remember his historic 2016 season. He rushed for 1,239 yards, caught 80 passes for 879 yards and scored 20 touchdowns (16 rushing, 4 receiving). That is his potential because he can be a big contributor in the passing game.
  • Johnson should be the No. 1 back in Houston in 2020.

Reasons not to draft David Johnson

  • Johnson has not been a great fantasy producer since 2016
  • The Northern Iowa product is in his fourth offensive system in as many seasons. He struggled to pick up the last two systems he was in.

Where should I draft David Johnson in fantasy football drafts?

Johnson is projected to rush for 950 yards and catch 19 passes for 160 yards, scoring eight total touchdowns. He probably will catch more passes than that, but after being a fantasy stud in 2016, he is more or less a run of the mill starting running back. He is capable but is a solid RB2 to have.

Pick him in later rounds. Do not make him a priority.
