Johnson figures to see added touches going forward with Mark Ingram slated to be traded to the Saints, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillip Lindsay is also a candidate to see added work in the wake of the move. It remains to be seen how the Texans redistribute Ingram's workload, but through seven weeks, he led the team with 92 carries for 294 yards and a TD, while Johnson logged 27 carries for 104 yards and Lindsay ran 38 times for 97 yards and a score. Johnson was already the team's primary pass-catching back and thus on the deeper PPR radar, so any uptick in rushing attempts will boost his chances at making a fantasy impact.
