Should DJ be ranked so high in most fantasy rankings

[SissyBoyFloyd]

The way coach likes to share the RB load, and the fact we have 3 exciting ones, I can't see D. Johnson ranked in the top 10 of fantasy players.

 

[DevonCardsFan]

Mock dtafts have him as #1 rb in yahoo mocks right now

 

[Austin Zonie]

I don't know about #1 overall, but especially in a PPR league, he's pretty appealing.

Yes, he should be in the top 10.

He should get at least 80 percent of the carries, and 4-5 catches a game.

The only back I would draft before him is bell - if he looks back to full health in the preseason.

 

[Austin Zonie]

Yes, he should be.

So, he's your #2?

 

[oaken1]

it's not just about touches, but touchdowns...he gets the ball in scoring position.

Some people been forgetting about Todd Gurley, apparently.

Maybe. 5 of his 10 TDs came before he was the starter. 3 of the remaining 5 came in one game against Philly.

IMO, David Johnson is getting overvalued--I hope someone in my league takes him in the top 5.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

He's probably a top 5 RB, not top 5 overall.

 

[BACH]

A 3-down back is rare in the NFL these days. I love the potential, but have not seen enough of DJ to draft him ahead of Bell, AP or Gurley. I would also consider a slimmed down Lacy and a healthy Charles before DJ

 

[cardncubfan]

I would think Elliot would be highly rated running behind Dallas' line.

It'll be interesting to see how high he goes. High risk with the stable of backs they have, IMO. I do know that he'll go well before I'd take him here in Texas.

I think Johnson might be on a equal level of production as Gurley but one thing people do not consider... Gurley is going to be a lot better now he has a year past his ACL

+1

I think he is overvalued in the world of Fantasy Football right now, without a doubt.

The #1 back is Adrian Peterson, and should be ever year until he retires, IMHO.

Here are my fantasy football backs, which are different from who I think the best running backs are when it comes to winning in the NFL.

Adrian Peterson
Le'Veon Bell
Todd Gurley
LeSean McCoy
Devonta Freeman

......ugh, I do not want to think about this for another few months. Too many questions and what have you's.

LOL.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

He will also have Jeff Goff as his QB.

Gurley is going to produce more, IMHO, just because he will be used more.

 

[CFLredzoned]

Isn't it all the receivings yards that take him from down the pack to top of the pack?

 

[splitsecond]

I am torn between keeping him or Gurley in my keeper league.

 

[DevonCardsFan]

They have DJ over Gurley because hes on the high powered cards offense so he gets more TD oppurtunities then Gurley, Gurley cooled off at the end of year as David Johnson exploded. Personally id rather have Leveon Bell with a clear great handcuff in Deangelo Williams. But right now Yahoo has David Johnson #3 overall

So, he's your #2?

Yes, for me he is.

I rank the backs like this
1. Bell
2. DJ
3. Peterson
4. Elliot
5. Gurley
6. Charles
7. Miller
8. Freeman

Then there is a big drop off.

My statement was in reply to the contradicting statement in which you claimed Bell and DJ should both be #1.

 

[AZCrazy]

Last year's propped up preseason #1 was CJ Anderson from Denver. Was convinced to take him with the top overall pick in the draft. I had to eat a mile of crow and cut him by week 4.

Well DJ is my number one if Bell does not look fully recovered.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

For what it is worth, I would disagree with putting Elliot in front of Gurley, Freeman and Charles.

I would also put Doug Martin in front of Lamar Miller.

 

[Russ Smith]

it's not just about touches, but touchdowns...he gets the ball in scoring position.

Exactly he still figures to be the short yardage and TD guy so yeah he's a high pick
