Fantasy football question larry johnson?

Question

after a dismal year last year do you think larry johnson will recover this year? Also in a 10 team league what is the latest you think he should be picked?

Answer 1

I won't be taking Larry Johnson.  I have him ranked 13th among RBs only and he won't last that long.  I will let him be someone else's burden.

When in doubt, always default to last year's stats.  He was decent until the injury and then he was nothing.  I would definitely take Lewis, Portis, Jones-Drew, or McGahee ahead of LJ.

Answer 2

he will do a little bite of running. 6th or 7th round

Answer 3

The knocks on him are many...

Too many carries, too many miles on that body...

Serious injury last season...

Less than helpful QB situation...

Rebuilding O-line...

Still, he is a feature back.  They will limit his carries some, but he's just a full season removed from being a no-brainer fantasy football force.

Footballguys.com has him anywhere from #10 to #14 overall, in standard format, slightly lower in PPR.

That feels about right, given all the uncertainty.

I believe he's still a value on the turn, or anywhere in the second round.

Answer 4

He is a great RB.  the problem is they did not improve their OL and that will keep LJ from being a stud.  If he falls to the third round you have to pull the trigger on him.
