We’ve all been waiting to get the follow up season we all know Johnson is capable of repeating from his 2016 greatness. He was a top choice for the number one fantasy pick in 2017.

There were still some in 2018 that felt like that was the season of comeback after his season-ending injury in week one of 2017. The season still left Johnson below 1000-yards rushing and nowhere near the 80 receptions he had in 2016.

Now as they enter 2019 and a new offense, hope has been renewed that Johnson will again climb over 1000-yards and approach 80 receptions again, not to mention the 20 overall touchdowns he hit in 2016 (16 rushing, 4 receiving).

Still, there are going to be a lot of weapons in the Air Raid arsenal. Johnson was used a lot in 2016. He may give up some goal line opportunities to Chase Edmonds.
