David Johnson Inefficient In Win
New Orleans Saints veteran running back David Johnson had his heaviest usage on the season in Saturday's victory over the Cleveland Browns due to the cold nature of the game, but did not turn his usage into production.

Free-agent running back David Johnson is visiting with the New Orleans Saints on Monday, according to sources. The Saints have a big need at running back, so adding Johnson would make a lot of sense. New Orleans has Alvin Kamara as their lead back and veteran Mark Ingram II backing him up, but behind them they have Tony Jones Jr., Dwayne Washington, Devine Ozigbo and rookie Abram Smith. Johnson would immediately provide more veteran depth next to Ingram. The 30-year-old spent the last two ... [Read More]
