Chris Johnson carried the ball 25 times for 141 yards in Week 4, erasing some of the doubt surrounding his ability to run anymore. However, one performance with a large amount of the yards in garbage time does not mean he’s back quite yet.

Fantasy Impact: As Paul Kuharsky of ESPN notes, Johnson gained 60 yards on nine carries after the Texans were already up by three touchdowns or more. Houston’s run defense is typically stout, but Johnson managed to find plenty of room to run on Sunday. Critics are suggesting, though, that Johnson needs to string together multiple impressive performances before declaring he’s completely back to his old form. Now would certainly be a good time to sell high if you can.
