Schefter: Cardinals dealing David Johnson to Texans

The Houston Texans are acquiring running back David Johnson from the Arizona Cardinals, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.

What It Means:

The Texans acquired Johnson, a 2020 second-round pick, and a 2021 fourth-rounder from the Cardinals in exchange for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and a 2020 fourth-round selection. Johnson was demoted to serving as Kenyan Drake's backup over the second half of last season, but he could potentially re-emerge as the lead option in Houston. Last year's leading rusher, Carlos Hyde, declined a contract offer from the team earlier this offseason. Johnson turned 28 in December.

Johnson averaged 10.3 FanDuel points on 10.0 touches in 13 games for the Cardinals last season. Among the three backs on the team with at least 50 carries, Johnson was the only one with a success rate below 40.0 percent.
