Chris Johnson

[Reddawn36]

Okay so I've been reading what the talking heads are saying.... and just about all of them are saying sit chris johnson, my head is saying sit johnson, and my gut is saying start him.... and then when I start listening to my gut, I remember he ran all over our defense in that playoff game before he got injure.. Rex Ryans defense..

What do you guys suggest?

my other RB's are

Ray Rice (using to start)
Tim Hightower (on bench)
and Leon Washington (on bench)

After last week's performance I'd find it hard to bench him. Tennessee Titans are looking to employ him more. If the Titans are to win - it's going to be on the back of Chris Johnson.

I look to see him catch a lot of passes out of the backfield in this game. Which would lead me to think that fantasy talking heads are wrong.

Do you start 2 RBs?

I have to believe Ray Rice will get his first rushing TD in Sunday's game.

Never sit Chris Johnson, even on a bye week

yeah, I usually go for an early (aka first round) back unless brees is available (man is too much of a beast) .. and then 2nd-4th round i build my WR corps... almost all of my leagues require 2 RB starts.. some have the flex position as well... tim hightower, almost always finds his way into all of my ffb teams.. and sometimes i'll target felix jones as well... thanks for the heads up, I kind of had same thoughts but wasn't too sure.. and I really don't know how to start between hightower and rice, hightower is most likely lone back, rice has a chance to not score any TD's :/

I ended up with the #1 pick in my league. Took AP. The guy with the second took Brees. He's looking very smart very far. He didn't fall into the MJD/Forte/Turner trap.

I fell into the forte one, but I was going in not picking up turner or MJD... I'm hoping forte blows up today he owes me some fantasy points (i have like 4 different leagues, 1 with forte, 1 with johnson, 1 with brees, and 1 I missed teh draft)
