Past Fantasy Outlooks
2016
2015
Johnson enters training camp as the fourth running back on the depth chart, so he's going to have to make some waves if he hopes to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. He spent some time on the Cowboys' practice squad last season and showed some flashes during two preseason games, but he couldn't crack the final roster, and eventually he made his way to Atlanta's practice squad. Unless injuries occur, that seems like a likely destination for Johnson again this year.
