We should be thankful that we at least have an NFL season that has gone mostly according to plan, other than every good running back being injured. Duke isn’t going away and he is a formidable roadblock to targets in the passing game. David Johnson might be one of the most head-scratching backs for the 2020 season. Standard Scoring ADP: RB22, 48 overall “Let's start with Johnson, who should have had negative trade value, especially after the Cardinals slapped the transition tag on Kenyan Drake earlier this morning.

The absence of Hopkins and the addition of David Johnson isn’t going to help those numbers in 2020. Duke Johnson finished with 62 of the team’s 79 targets (78%).
