Can Someone Explain the David Johnson Hype?
Posted on 8/22/16 at 2:28 pm

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.

He won't beat out Chris Johnson or Ellington or kerwynn Williams

I took him ahead of Gurley in a .5 ppr league

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.

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!

Took him at 4 last night after the top 3 WRs. It was between he and Gurley for me and Johnson plays on a much better team and catches more passes than Gurley. Like someone else mentioned, Gurley will have plenty of down weeks as he will get shut down because defenses will key on him or LA will fall behind early. Soon after whichever QB is on the field for them will toss 4 INTs.

I think ranking the RB's is really hard this year. There's red flags with everyone out there.

i saw several websites that has him ranked as the #1 RB. I just got him at 9th in an 8 team league.
