From the article

Johnson has looked good in limited action-he's averaging almost 7.5 yards per touch. The elusiveness and power he's shown should earn the rookie more touches moving forward. If Walker misses any time, which he has in the past, Johnson instantly jumps into high-end RB2 territory with an RB1 ceiling based purely on volume in this offense.
