David Johnson Officially Retires

Sunday, May 19, 8:50 PM

Running back David Johnson officially announced his retirement on Sunday. The 32-year-old was taken in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He played for three teams, suiting up for the Cardinals, Texans, and Saints. However, Johnson's most productive years were in Arizona, where he had his best season in 2016 by rushing for 1,239 yards and 16 touchdowns off 293 carries and adding 80 catches for 879 yards and four touchdowns. Unfortunately, injuries didn't allow him to recapture the same magic from the 2016 season, although he still had a productive career, ending with 4,071 rushing yards, 2,805 receiving yards, and 57 total touchdowns.

Michael Carter News

Michael Carter Signing with the Titans

Wednesday, April 1, 7:51 PM

The Tennessee Titans have signed free agent running back Michael Carter, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Carter reunites with Robert Saleh, who was his head coach when the Jets drafted him and is now the head coach of the Titans. The 26-year-old wasn't always fantasy relevant last year, but he had a decent season nonetheless. He ultimately played in 13 games and ranked as the overall RB48 in PPR leagues with 333 rushing yards, 33 catches, 267 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He made five starts along the way, highlighted by an 18.3-point performance in Week 5 against (ironically) the Titans. Carter projects as the No. 3 running back in Tennessee, slotting into a depth role behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. He faces an uphill battle to earn fantasy-relevant snaps in 2026.
