A receiving TD bolstered Johnson’s point total in Week 4 and somewhat masked the fact that the rookie had a rough game and only managed 18 yards on the ground.
Now with Andre Ellington set to return and Chris Johnson firmly atop the depth chart, David may not have much of an offensive role moving forward. In fact, talk is that Ellington will likely assume the same role that the younger of the Johnsons has held over the last few weeks, an almost certain kiss of death for the explosive rookie.
David will still have solid games—he’s too explosive not too—but the consistent double digits that we’ve seen thus far in 2015 are a stretch. If someone is willing to give RB2 or even RB3 value for him, do it. That’s not a bad deal for a potential kick returner.
