59 Running Backs signed in Free Agency

David Johnson is pretty much the unanimous #1 overall pick in redraft leagues and the player with greatest value in auction draft leagues.  If it's a PPR league, which NYOFACE now is, David Johnson is 'da man.'

Tex brought up David Johnson up for bids second overall.  Guess who signed him?  Tex and Bye Week signed the running back to a record $72 salary.  Johnson's $72 salary may be the costliest in the league, but it's still below his 2016 value.
