Every mock draft I do, he is taken top 5. I have never really heard much of this guy before. I have pick 5 in one 10 man standard league and he keeps falling to me. Can someone give me some insight to why he is so popular right now?

He's popular because he's an excellent running back who plays in the best offense in the league.

I'd rather have Gurley or an elite WR, but Johnson had some amazing flashes last year. He rushed for nearly 200 yards vs. the Eagles. When he got the bulk of the carries last year, he was pretty dominant. My understanding is he will get the bulk of the carries this year and it won't be close. I would take him late 1st or early 2nd but i'd probably go in a different direction for the 1st 5 picks.

Yea I always get stuck with trying to figure out whether to choose him or a top 5 WR. I know for sure Antonio Brown and Gurley will be chosen ahead of me so that helps my mocks a little.

Oh really? You'd take a top 6-7 guy if he fell to early 2nd?

I took Johnson at pick 6 this past weekend. And then Elliott lasted til I picked again. So I have alot of boom or bust with my RBS.

He's a good RB but I agree top 5 is way too high for him. The Top 3 WRs plus Gurley and AP should be drafted in most drafts over him. Hell I like LaMar Miller over Johnson.

Oh how we've changed our stance on Johnson

Shocking to see you ride the fence and play both angles

Don't worry, if Johnson ends up being a bust or getting injured, tzimme will be here to say he told us so.

He'll also be here to tell us so if Johnson is a top 3 back.

Watch All or Nothing. It will give you a lot of insight on him. Everyone in that organization thinks he's a future superstar at the position. Have no fear about CJnoK and Ellington, they won't see the light of day if this guy stays healthy. Much like DJ never saw the light of day until those two got hurt last year. Draft with no hesitation!

I'm not going to be upset if someone takes his early because that's on them and it gives me better options to choose from if I'm selecting later.

I seem him as a late 1st, early 2nd round pick with a boom or bust potential. I've been more on the bust because of his ADP. If it 10 spots later I could get down with DJ

Bc y'all would expose that fraud. It's easy to be a legend when it's unverifiable.

Everyone taking gurley first rb will be a sad camper at the end of the year. They will have no qb, no wrs, no pass game, they wont be in near as many scoring opportunities as the cards. Load the box, stop gurley.
