Razors Edge 95 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Why do bad football players get jobs in the NFL when we know they are bad? Jesus, give a scrub off the street a shot to play if this is what so called NFL players can do. Why is this guy on an NFL roster. We need to talk more about players and why theya re on rosters when they never perform. He has never been good. Just like I say in other threads, give other players a shot if bad players are always bad. Side note, im big on player develpoment and getting rid of washed up players.

The Frankman 3,346 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) Quote Duke Johnson rushed nine times for 37 yards, hauling in 3-of-4 targets for 43 yards and one touchdown reception in Houston's Week 12 win against the Lions. Johnson hauled in a 33-yard touchdown to salvage his fantasy day, but the real takeaway is that he has yet to surpass 54 rushing yards in three starts for David Johnson (concussion, IR) and merely out-touched C.J. Prosise 12-6 against Detroit. The latter was also used over Duke inside the 10-yard line Thursday, scoring Houston's first touchdown — a receiving score — of the game. Suddenly lacking a stranglehold of both the carries and targets among this backfield, Johnson has dipped to fringe-RB2 status for the rest of the year. It's also possible David Johnson returns in Week 13 against the Colts. - Rotoworld Really confusing usage... they came into the game determined to pass the rock. This isn't a team that will #EstablishTheRun and they don't run block well, but you'd think this was the game to use him considering Detroit hemorrhages yards against the run.

Hot Sauce Guy 9,044 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 It’s Duke or Engram for me in dynasty playoffs. I don’t think the game will come down to 1 play, but I’m struggling with this decision. We have 6 flex so I can truly play either with no other lineup ramifications. Luckily my opponent started Cam (4.4) and Harris (6) so it doesn’t feel desperate. Would still be nice to make the right call. Very tempting to go Engram with Jones back, but I worry about him tweaking that hammy again. feels like a coin flip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is very tempting. I picked him up as an emergency option if Drake was ruled out but there is a chance he is a bigger part of the offense today due to injuries. I do not think I can pull the switch though. He is hard to trust in a playoff match up but if you do and he goes off what a great call that would be. The risk though.

The Frankman 3,346 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Quote Duke Johnson rushed eight times for 26 yards and caught two targets for 53 yards in the Texans' Week 14 loss to the Bears. Partially because of the offensive line, the Texans have turned into the worst rushing offense in the NFL this season. Johnson isn't helping either. Most of his runs ended in a cloud of dust near the line of scrimmage, and he lost touches to Buddy Howell in garbage time with the Bears winning by 29 points. Johnson isn't a starting-caliber player and is more of a fantasy RB3 than RB2 when David Johnson misses. Things will not be easier in Indianapolis in Week 15. - Rotoworld I mean if you started him as a flex in Standard you got 7.9 FP. You'll take that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twenty-Four Eighty-Four 687 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Released by the Texans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyU 4,081 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Texans released RB Duke Johnson. The move saves the Texans around $5 million in cap space for 2021. Johnson played in 27 games for Houston and rushed for 645 yards and three rushing scores. An excellent pass catcher, Johnson reeled in 72 balls for 659 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns during his two seasons with the Texans. Johnson was relegated to a situational back in the Houston offense, seeing double digit carries just three times in two years. He averaged a mere 3.59 targets per contest in 27 games with the Texans, much to the frustration of Duke Johnson truthers everywhere. Johnson didn't stand much chance of making the 2021 roster with Houston entering full rebuild mode. Johnson, who will be 28 in September, should catch on with a team in need of an experienced third down back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
