Tennessee Titan 2010 Running Back Preview
Chris Johnson
After an electrifying 2009 season that included over 2,500 yards
gained and 16 touchdowns, it is easy to pick Tennessee Titan Chris
Johnson as the number one running back (and therefore number one
overall player) in fantasy football.
Johnson is a rare back who every time he touches the ball it looks
as if he is going to score. The good news is playing in Tennessee
he touches the ball a lot. Not only did he carry the ball a league-lead
350 times, but he also caught 50 passes.
The good news in the offseason was that goal line back, LenDale
White, is gone and that should send more goal line carries coming
Johnson's way.
While Johnson would be hard-pressed to improve upon his 2009 breakout
season, you can be assured that he is the real deal and is one of
the few sure-thing studs in fantasy football.
