Duke Johnson Jr, Carlos Hyde's Updated Fantasy Outlook, Trade Value After Week 1

One game in, fantasy football owners still don't know too much about the Houston Texans' backfield.

With Lamar Miller out for the season, Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson Jr. each had a chance to prove themselves as the clear No. 1 choice on the ground. Instead, they had nearly identical workloads in the Texans' 30-28 defeat to the New Orleans Saints on Monday night.

Hyde carried the ball 10 times for 83 yards, while Johnson ran for 57 yards on nine carries. Not surprisingly, Johnson had the edge as a receiver, catching four passes for 33 yards on five targets.
