Cardinals RB David Johnson expected to see his touches cut with Andre Ellington back

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson is expected to take a back seat with Andre Ellington expected to return this week. Despite impressing with limited touches, head coach Bruce Arians does not like playing rookies and was pretty clear when asked how Ellington's return would complicate the backfield. "It's not hard, because the young guy (David Johnson) sits down," Arians said.

Fantasy Analysis:

While this is expected from Arians, it may be a mistake. Johnson is too talented to just sit down. He has been impressive and is a playmaker. However, he is a perfect replacement for Ellington.
