Currently 14th out of 16 teams in the AFC playoff standings, just lost their starting RB, and their schedule is far from easy the rest of the way- they aren't making the playoffs.

DAVID JOHNSONRB, HOUSTON TEXANS David Johnson (concussion, injured reserve) is eligible to return for Week 13 against the Colts. Interim coach Romeo Crennel is apparently "hopeful" it will happen. It is not a guarantee we will get an update Wednesday, as the Texans do not have to list the practice status for players who are on injured reserve. We should get word from the assembled media, however, on whether or not Johnson takes part. Duke Johnson has failed to run with starting duties during David's absence. David would be returning to low-end RB2 status. SOURCE: The Athletic Dec 1, 2020, 5:55 PM ET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson just returned from a three-game concussion absence last week.

Faust Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Quote David Johnson rushed eight times for 27 yards in the Texans' Week 15 loss to the Colts, adding 11 receptions for 106 additional yards. 100-yard rushing days have become a pipe dream for 29-year-old Johnson, but with Duke Johnson sidelined, David randomly revived to lead the Texans in receiving. He notched 26- and 31-yard grabs for two of the Texans' biggest plays of the day. Huge for this week, but not a bankable formula going forward. Johnson entered Week 15 having caught more than two passes twice. The Bengals, of course, are a plus matchup, one that will keep Johnson in the low-end RB2 mix for the fantasy finals.

The Frankman Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Quote David Johnson rushed 14 times for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' Week 17 loss to the Titans, adding three receptions for 36 additional yards. 29-year-old Johnson managed to save a little face after his November and December health (concussion, COVID-19) issues, averaging 131 yards from scrimmage over his final three contests. It was too little, too late for both the Texans and fantasy managers, but Johnson had noticeably more juice in his legs after a listless September-November. Johnson ended up finding the end zone eight times in 12 games, averaging a career-best 4.7 yards per carry. He nevertheless failed to reach 1,000 yards rushing for the fourth consecutive season. The man who acquired Johnson is gone, while cutting him loose with free up $6.9 million in cap space. Duke Johnson is a more likely cut than David, but David's chances of returning are not assured for this rebuilding franchise. - Rotoworld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faust Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Quote Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson reports the Texans want to keep David Johnson for 2021 but at a lower salary. Johnson is set to make $8.5 million in 2021, but the Texans can save $6.4 million against the cap by releasing him. If D.J. became a free agent, he certainly wouldn't sign for more than the $8.5 million he's scheduled to make, so it makes sense for the two parties to agree to a paycut and enter the season as the unquestioned starter. Assuming Johnson returns, he'll have RB2 appeal if Deshaun Watson stays and doesn't sit out. If Watson is traded or sits out, Johnson will struggle for top-24 production. He's a classic boom-bust RB2/3 in early fantasy drafts with Duke Johnson out of the way. The Texans' first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft isn't until Round 3, so Johnson is unlikely to face rookie competition next year. It all comes down to Watson's situation.

Faust Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Quote David Johnson has agreed to a restructured contract for 2021. Originally due $7.95 million, Johnson has reduced his base contract but agreed to an increase in guaranteed money. He will bring home $4.25 million, with another $1.75 million possible through incentives. It's not a bad deal for a 29-year-old back who mostly struggled last season before finishing stronger down the stretch. With Duke Johnson all but certain to walk in free agency, David could have a more locked-in three-down role in 2021. The next question becomes who will be his quarterback. Johnson should be regarded as a low-end RB2 in early-spring fantasy drafts. The ceiling just isn't there anymore.

Faust Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) Quote DAVID JOHNSON RB, HOUSTON TEXANS Texans offensive coordinator Tim Kelly said he has to do "a better job calling more runs" in 2021. Kelly and head coach David Culley bemoaned the Texans finishing 31st in rush attempts and rushing yards last season, saying it would be an emphasis this season to establish the run whenever possible. That could prove difficult when Houston finds itself down multiple scores in the second half of nearly every game. "Going back and looking at it, I've got to do a good job calling more runs and letting our backs and our line get into a rhythm and get into a groove as far as how that game's being played out up front," Kelly said. "Each year you go into the offseason looking at different schematic ways and personnel ways that you can improve, and we feel like we've done that." Ostensibly led by David Johnson, Houston's backfield is crowded. Phillip Lindsay, Mark Ingram, and Rex Burkhead are likely to see work at some point in 2021. Becoming a target hog is the only path any Texans running back has to every-week fantasy viability.

Johnson was quietly pretty solid last year, and is likely the centerpiece of the offense if Watson is gone/suspended. He's a useful RB3 in my opinion. I doubt Ingram and Burkhead are real threats preventing Johnson from 200+ touches. Maybe Lindsay is, but he's somewhat proven he wears down pretty quickly, and is best used as a change of pace.
