David Johnson Week 8 Outlook -

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 28th 2021, 6:22am EDT

The Texans traded Mark Ingram to the Saints on Wednesday, leaving the backfield to Johnson and Lindsay. Houston hasn't had a running back finish in RB1 or RB2 range since Week 1, when Ingram was the RB17 and Johnson was the RB24, so there's very little value here. Presumably, Lindsay will play an increased role and split work with Johnson fairly evenly. It seems unrealistic to expect a workhorse role for the oft-injured Johnson at age 29. Johnson checks in at RB41 this week, Lindsay at WR42.
