Running Back Rank: #8
Overall: #8
Johnson emerged as the Titans primary ball carrier his rookie season. And he didn't disappoint, showing his big-play potential almost every game. He had four 100-yard games and averaged an impressive 4.9 yards per carry. He also caught 43 passes, showing great potential as a receiver. As you can see, Johnson is the real deal. He has blazing speed and great moves. He isn't the biggest back in the world, though, which could limit him on short-yardage work.

He'll lose some goal-line carries to LenDale White, but you have to love his total yardage potential his second season in the league. Johnson can get 1,600 or so total yards and around double-digit scores, making him a guy to target late in the first round or early second round. |

| Terry McCormick, of The City Paper, reports Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson is soliciting fans suggestions for end zone celebrations that can rival those of Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco and Buffalo Bills WR Terrell Owens. 'I'm going to test out celebrations,' Johnson said. 'I've gotten some, but I feel like I didn't get any one that caught my attention yet.' Johnson was jokingly asked that if a fine comes his way because of a celebration, would he ask the fan who suggested it for any help paying for the infraction. 'I'll pay the fine. If it's better than T.O. or Ochocinco, I'll pay the fine,' Johnson said. |

| Jim Wyatt, of The Tennessean, reports the Tennessee Titans want to put RB Chris Johnson to work even more this season. That could mean more carries and more catches, but also more creative ways to get them. 'There's places we can move him, routes we can run with him, looks we can do with him that we held back last year because I thought I was stretching him too much,' offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger said. 'But C.J. needs to show he can do those things and he'll work at it. And the more he shows the more we can give him. If C.J. wants to learn it and work at it then we have a chance to move him all around the place.' |
| Fantasy Impact: Johnson seems poised for a huge season as long as he can stay healthy. |
