Duke Johnson To Miss Another Game
4 years agoHouston Texans running back Duke Johnson (neck) has been officially ruled out for Week 16 against the Bengals. Johnson also missed last week and has fallen out of fantasy favor now that David Johnson is back as the team's lead back. C.J. Prosise should serve as Johnson's backup this Sunday, but he has very little appeal in the deepest of PPR leagues. The Bengals Defense isn't very good and is a solid matchup for opposing running backs, so David Johnson has some low-end RB1/high-end RB2 appeal this weekend. Cincy has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game to running backs in 2020. Johnson had eight carries for 26 yards last week while also catching two passes for 53 yards. The 27-year-old should be a big part of the offense this week in a game that Houston can definitely win.
