Detroit Lions RB Kerryon Johnson ran twice for three yards and a touchdown Sunday, Dec. 13, vs. the Green Bay Packers. He added one catch for 10 yards on his only target in Week 14.
Huddle Up: The TD was frustrating to see since it could have gone to another option with fantasy utility, and no one can count on it happening again from a third-string back. He has no fantasy value going forward.

Detroit Lions RB Kerryon Johnson (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 11, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.
Huddle Up: Johnson probably will only see a handful of touches if D'Andre Swift returns to the lineup and can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Detroit Lions RB Kerryon Johnson (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Dec. 9.
Huddle Up: Johnson saw a season-high 11 carries in the blowout loss against the Houston Texans in Week 12, but that workload was dialed back to just three carries in Week 13. He doesn't have any reliable fantasy value.

Detroit Lions RB Kerryon Johnson rushed for 46 yards on 11 carries against the Houston Texans in Week 12. He also caught four passes for 52 yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Johnson has been splitting playing time with Adrian Peterson over the last few weeks but could see a smaller role if D'Andre Swift is able to play in Week 13. Fantasy players should be able to find better options and can keep Johnson on the bench.

Detroit Lions RB Kerryon Johnson rushed for 17 yards on six carries against the Carolina Panthers in Week 11. He also caught two passes for 21 yards during the game.
Huddle Up: With D'Andre Swift sidelined, Johnson shared playing time with Adrian Peterson but struggled against the Panthers. He will have a more favorable matchup next week but should not be a starting fantasy option.

Detroit Lions RB Kerryon Johnson rushed four times for 29 yards in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings and he added three receptions for 36 yards on his three targets.
Huddle Up: Johnson is behind D'Andre Swift on the depth chart, but he was way more productive on his seven total touches than Adrian Peterson. That's a situation worth watching closely over the next couple of games.

Detroit Lions RB Kerryon Johnson ran eight times for 32 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers and he was targeted once without any catches.
Huddle Up: Johnson had eight total touches while Adrian Peterson had seven touches and D'Andre Swift posted 10. Head coach Matt Patricia is from the Bill Belichick coaching tree, and he tends to ride with the hot hand and/or play the back who gives his team the best matchup. Fantasy owners do not care for it much.

Detroit Lions RB Kerryon Johnson rushed seven times for 14 yards in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears and he was not targeted in the pass game.
Huddle Up: Johnson went nowhere fast, and he was outperformed by both Adrian Peterson and rookie D'Andre Swift. Get used to it. Johnson is hurtling toward acquiring that label which starts with the letter B. For fantasy purposes, he is only worth a roster spot in the deepest of leagues.
