brotherbock 349 Posted September 26, 2015 Johnson I like Fred Jackson Just not Gurley in his first game ever in the pros coming back off a big injury. Otherwise, take your pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fanfootballtn 33 Posted September 27, 2015 CJ is getting all of the Redzone touches. I might trade Johnson. The same thing is going to happen when Ellington comes back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted September 27, 2015 150 yards and 2 TD for Mr Johnson... Chris Johnson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seadog54 20 Posted September 27, 2015 Dropping. Sorry fellas but it's been fun. AZ has no confidence in him and with Ellington coming back he's not worth my roster spot. Good luck to you all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 27, 2015 It was a fun ride. I'm sure he will have a few big games to end the season and enter next year with a huge Hype train. Not interested in the 3 headed RB monster in AZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flgatorguy87 160 Posted September 27, 2015 I'm holding. Good team and a talented player. It also doesn't hurt that we are deep rosters and I can keep him for next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c_Weezie 3 Posted September 28, 2015 Also holding for a few more weeks until the situation becomes more clear. Very few available RBs worth putting on a roster, none worth dropping Johnson for imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Chewy 98 Posted September 28, 2015 he's not going to survive my bye week needs. too bad...no room for the 3rd man in a 3 rb situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,497 Posted September 28, 2015 Wow where did that game from C Johnson come from . I thought he forgot how to run like that a few years ago . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cretins 21 Posted September 28, 2015 In a redraft league I'd likely drop him, but for me his very late round value in my keeper league makes him worth stashing away just a little longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted October 4, 2015 If the Cards were losing i guarantee they go to David. I dont get the philosophy here. David Johnson is just a rookie who doesnt deserve touches... until the game is on the line and Arians knows he needs to rely on him. Maybe if they used DJohn more they wouldnt be losing (yes i know about the drop and fumble. Hes still their best weapon at rb) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted October 4, 2015 Your talking to yourself . Its true... im not making anything up. The team went to Johnson almost exclusively in the last drive. His 'philosophy' about rookies is bull shlt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boilerddd 62 Posted October 5, 2015 Fact of the matter is the Cardinals had been rolling on offense following Arians script. They start to struggle and lose a few games like today and his rookie running back philosophy will likely not seem so important. However David needs to not fumble the ball or he won't earn Arians trust. I do agree it is pretty obvious when Arians gets desperate for a big play he isn't too concerned about seniority.

jerryskids 5,295 Posted October 5, 2015 I was at the game. DJ was in quite a bit including, as noted above, on their final drive pretty exclusively. He dropped what would have been an easy TD so they are clearly looking his way. Also he split out wide quite a bit, for what it is worth. I'm just wondering what happens when Ellington comes back. I suspect he will eat more into CJ's snaps than DJ's, but I guess we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,497 Posted October 5, 2015 When Ellington comes back there will be almost no fantasy value to any of them , this team can't give three rbs enough work . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted October 5, 2015 Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said after Sunday's Week 4 loss that David Johnson "played like a rookie today." Johnson totaled 81 yards and scored a 23-yard receiving touchdown, but Arians wasn't happy with the third-round pick's performance. "He dropped a touchdown pass pass, he fumbled a ball, and he played like a rookie today," Arians said. Johnson operated as the Cardinals' passing-down back behind Chris Johnson. It's possible that role will go back to Andre Ellington next week. Trying so hard to come up with reasons not to make him the man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted October 5, 2015 Trying so hard to come up with reasons not to make him the man. Kind of a jerkoff thing to say for Arians. I guess only rookies drop passes and have fumbles. I also thought DJ looked very good in pass protection in the 4th quarter. Plus he was open on a few passes Palmer missed that may have helped them win the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brownsfan21 1 Posted October 5, 2015 I have no choice but to drop him. With Dunbar most likey done for awhile i have no room and will most likely grab C Mike since i have Randle.
