New Houston Texans running back David Johnson was arguably the best player at his position in 2016 when he amassed a league-high 2,118 scrimmage yards and 20 touchdowns for the Arizona Cardinals.

However, Johnson has not found that form since, suffering a season-ending wrist injury in Week 1 in 2017 and running for just 3.6 yards per carry in 2018. The former Northern Iowa star lost his place atop the depth chart to Kenyan Drake last season as he missed three games and suffered back and ankle injuries.
