Arizona Cardinals running back Chris Johnson has officially been named the starter by head coach Bruce Arians. This comes after CJ2K carried the ball 22 times for 110 yards and added a 40-yard reception and two touchdowns. Regardless of Andre Ellington's availability, Johnson will be the starter until further notice.
FANTASY ANALYSIS
Johnson was excellent last week and has worked himself in as a viable Fantasy option. However, the issue is that there are going to be three capable backs in the backfield once Ellington is healthy. Rookie David Johnson is in the mix as well. Do not count on CJ2K getting over 20 touches per game, it's just not feasible and they won't always be blowing teams out immediately like they were last week against the San Francisco 49ers.
