David Johnson will have over 150 total yards from scrimmage

Carson Palmer may be back, however expect Cardinals running back David Johnson to continue his dominance from the line of scrimmage.  Johnson ran for 157 yards against the 49ers last week.

The Cardinals will want to re-establish a passing game but they will not want to go away from Johnson either.  He may not rush for 157 yards but his versatility should allow him to run free with the ball whether on the ground or in the air receiving the ball.

For the remainder of the season, it should be the goal of the Cardinals to get the ball into the hand of number 31 as much as possible.  That means to be looking for Johnson to be getting 25-30 touches a game, even with everyone healthy.

The Jets defense is tough, so this will be no easy feat.  The Cardinals believe in Johnson that much however.
