No. 1 Kerrryon Johnson vs Dallas
The Lions finally have a 100-yard rusher! He’s back on the list. Kerryon Johnson is a fun player to watch and seems to be fitting what the Lions want quite well.
The former Auburn running back has been ramping up his production each week so far culminating in 16 carries for 101 yards against the Patriots in Matt Patricia’s first win as head coach. Are the troubles behind this Detroit team? That’s to be decided but Johnson helping relieve Stafford at times helps the balance overall for this offense.

Chris Carson was dominant against Dallas and Johnson could be another running back to have a great outing against this Cowboys bunch. Balanced offenses are where these backs shine. Carolina was great on the ground and so was Seattle when playing Dallas, could Johnson and Detroit be next up?
