INDIANAPOLIS — Sorry, fantasy football GMs, Bob Quinn has no interest in helping you plan for next summer’s draft and how to value Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson.

“I’m not going to put a number on how many touches he’s going to have,” Quinn said Wednesday at the NFL combine. “Some of the fantasy football fans out there might want to know that. Once we get our offense kind of installed with our new coordinator, those carries will be kind of divvied up based on what helps us win each game.”

Johnson stands to benefit as much as anyone from the Lions’ addition of Darrell Bevell as offensive coordinator, though Quinn stopped short of saying he’ll be a bell-cow running back in 2019.

Bevell featured some of the best rushing attacks in the NFL during his dozen years coordinating offenses for the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks, and Pro Bowl running backs Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch had some of their best seasons with Bevell calling plays.

Johnson led the Lions with 641 yards rushing as a rookie last season, when he missed the final six games with a knee injury.

He’ll enter 2019 as the team’s unquestioned starter at running back, even if the team is determined to add a complement in the draft or free agency.

“I think the way the NFL’s setup nowadays, you’ve got to have multiple backs,” Quinn said. “There’s really one or two guys in the league you’re going to turn around and hand the ball off to 30-plus times. And I think it’s a long season, it’s a long training camp, so to keep everyone healthy and fresh through the second half of the season, it’s not good to kind of have just one main guy. I think we always want to have a complement to that.”

The Lions are not expected to re-sign LeGarrette Blount after he had a disappointing 2018, but Theo Riddick remains under contract for now and the team is interested in bringing back Zach Zenner in free agency.

Riddick averaged a career-low 6.3 yards per catch last season, but has value as a receiving option out of the backfield. Zenner was the Lions’ best running back late in the season, but his versatility should earn him options elsewhere.

The Lions also could address the position on Day 3 of the draft or in free agency, where players like Mark Ingram, Mike Davis, Jeremy Hill and Corey Grant should be available.

“It’s hard to say exactly like, ‘Hey, this is the complement to Kerryon,’ because he does a couple of different things pretty well,” Lions coach Matt Patricia said. “I think for us, it’s just about trying to find balance in all the players that we have. … The good thing with Kerryon is he can kind of do a couple different things, which is good. He’s not just kind of in one area, if that makes any sense.”

Johnson, who caught 32 passes last season and averaged 5.4 yards per carry, second most in the NFL, can be an every-down back, though the Lions are wary about overuse given his injury history.

Still, Patricia said Johnson was “a great player” last year “and made some huge strides to kind of take over the role of what he had.”

“And we’ll look for a big improvement coming this year,” Patricia said. “It’s always a big jump from Year 1 to Year 2. It’s a hard thing for players coming out of their rookie season to try to – from a defensive perspective, you look at those guys and you’re not going to be surprised anymore. I think for the first part of the season, I knew that we would kind of maybe surprise some people with Kerryon and be able to get an advantage there a little bit.

"So we tried to play to those strengths the best we could, but once you get a full season or a season of film on tape, a lot of defensive coaches are going to dive into that pretty hard and try to take him away. So we’re just going to have to do the best we can to try to do what we can with him to make him as productive as we did last year and we’ll see. Like I said, it’s a big growth year from Year 1 to Year 2.”
