It was two years ago that Arizona Cardinals’ running back David Johnson was patiently waiting for his number to be called. When he got his turn to play regularly, thanks to injuries to Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington, fantasy football players went scurrying to their computers. Racing to put in waiver claims for the Cards’ rookie phenom.
After an outstanding statistical performance last season, Johnson is making a push to be the number-one pick in 2017 fantasy football drafts. As a veteran of fantasy football, it’s hard to recall a Cardinal being so well-regarded in fantasy circles. And the best may still be yet to come for the 25-year old.
