Is David Johnson Worth a Top-6 Pick in Fantasy Football in 2019?

Once upon a time, back in 2016, David Johnson ran roughshod over the league on his way to his one and only 1,000-yard rushing season. That year, Johnson also finished with the most receiving yards he’s had in a single season, going for 80 receptions for more than 800 yards and eclipsing 2,000 yards from scrimmage.

Finishing as RB1 in PPR formats, nearly 30 points ahead of the number two overall fantasy scorer, Aaron Rodgers, Johnson was the belle of every fantasy ball going in to 2017. But he got hurt in Week 1, missed the rest of the year and wasn't quite the same player in 2018, even though his immense volume helped him to an RB9 finish in PPR formats.
