Who Should I Start? David Johnson or Miles Sanders

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.

Dallas Cowboys running back Miles Sanders didn't look great in the season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles as the backup to Javonte Williams, but he gave fantasy managers a reason to hold on in deeper leagues in the 40-37 overtime win over the New York Giants on Sunday. Sanders scored his first touchdown of the season on a four-yard run in the fourth quarter, but he had only five carries on the day for a total of 15 yards, while Williams ran the ball 18 times for 97 yards and a touchdown. The 28-year-old caught both of his targets for four yards. Sanders isn't going away anytime soon, but with a minimal RB2 role behind Williams, he can remain on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues. Right now, he's only rostered in 2% of Yahoo leagues. Rookie Jaydon Blue has been a healthy scratch the first two weeks, but if he starts to get involved, Sanders will lose what little fantasy appeal he has left.
