Fantasy Alert: Peter King Says David Johnson Can Be a Dominant RB with Kingsbury

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson was one of the NFL's most dominant offensive players in 2016, when he amassed 2,118 scrimmage yards and 20 touchdowns.

A season-ending wrist injury in 2017 and team-wide offensive struggles in 2018 have prevented Johnson from experiencing similar success since, but Peter King of NBC Sports wrote Monday that he believes Johnson "will still have a chance to be a dominant back," citing new head coach Kliff Kingsbury's scheme.

"He's going to be [Kyler] Murray's sidecar an awful lot," King wrote.

He continued: "In Kingsbury's last full season as Texas Tech coach, 2017, the Red Raiders threw it 551 times and ran it 459.
