Kerryon Johnson Looking To Bounce Back After Lackluster Week 1
5 years agoDetroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson will look to bounce back in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers after a disappointing 49-yard performance to kick off the season. Johnson was the No. 1 option in the Lions backfield Sunday but ceded a worrisome 11 touches to C.J. Anderson while drawing the same amount of targets as newcomer J.D. McKissic. It wasn't the split fantasy owners were hoping for, but as long as Johnson keeps getting 18-plus touches a game, he should remain firmly in the RB2 conversation. The Chargers run defense was just scorched by the Colts to the tune of 203 yards, and they present a solid bounce-back opportunity for Johnson. He will remain an RB2 this week, but as Week 1 showed, the boom-or-bust potential is very real.
