Very few would disagree that Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is a solid selection for fantasy football. The 5-11, 205-pound running back churned 2,392 scrimmage yards in 2019.
However, in terms of PPR points per touch, McCaffrey had the third-highest ranking in that metric, according to Pro Football Focus. In fact, McCaffrey, who is rightly recognized for his work, was tied with the Houston Texans’ Duke Johnson with 1.2 PPR points per touch last year.
Johnson collected three receiving touchdowns in his first season with the Texans. The former Cleveland Brown also displayed his versatility as a runner with two rushing touchdowns.
Johnson wouldn’t be a player that would be taken as high as McCaffrey. In fact, Johnson will take a back seat to the other Johnson, David Johnson, as the top guy on the Texans’ depth chart.
However, Johnson would make for a decent waiver wire pickup when the starters could be on a bye week. The former Miami Hurricane caught 44 passes for 410 yards in 2019.
