A coach promising more snaps is not a promise of more touches. Johnson is the RB236 in sharp rank with a 66.2-point season projection and a value over replacement of -71.9, which is a polite way of saying he has been costing you something. The 11.5-point spread at Miami is the one real argument for him, since blowouts tend to generate garbage carries. Hold him if your bench has room for a lottery ticket. Start him only if the rest of your backfield is already in a sling.
