Lions' Kerryon Johnson explodes for 179 yards in Week 7
Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson rushed for 158 yards and gained 21 receiving yards on Sunday.
What It Means:
Johnson busted out a 71-yard run early in the game, fueling his breakout game. He saw a career-high 19 carries as the Lions held a lead the entire game. LeGarrette Blount did vulture a touchdown but it is clear that Johnson will be the focus of the Lions' backfield moving forward.
Johnson finished as a top-five fantasy running back so far with 18.9 FanDuel points on Sunday.
