David Johnson breaks out

Johnson didn’t have a bad game last week.  In fact on one run he was vintage DJ. However today I suspect we are going to get a heavy dose of the second-year player from Northern Iowa.

Johnson on the ground, Johnson in the air.  I would be amazed if he touches the ball less than 25 times Sunday afternoon against the Bucs.

Johnson will get a least one but I see a multiple touchdown day for the young running back.  This is a prediction that should make a lot of fantasy football owners happy should this come true.

Even if Johnson doesn’t get into the end zone, he should rush for over 100 yards and find himself on the receiving end of some big passing plays from quarterback Carson Palmer.

Last week the Cardinals only gave the ball to Chris Johnson once behind him.  I don’t see a whole lot changing in that department on Sunday afternoon.
