Fantasy Football: Will Kerryon Johnson Take the Next Step in 2019?

During the 2018 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions traded the 51st and 117th picks to move up eight spots and nab running back Kerryon Johnson with the 43rd pick.

Johnson didn't reach double-digit carries in either of the first two games of the year, but he made the most of his first contest besting that threshold in Week 3, erupting for 101 rushing yards on 16 carries against the New England Patriots.

He'd surpass the century mark once again three games later, stomping the Miami Dolphins for 158 rushing yards on 19 carries.
