After a disastrous 2011 season that featured a holdout and the worst production of his four-year career with just 1,047 rushing yards and four touchdowns, it is hard to find a running back with more polarizing fantasy prospects than the Titans Chris Johnson. Although Johnson agreed on contract terms with Tennessee in time to start on opening day, he showed up out of shape and was not the explosive player that he was during the first three years in the league when he ran for 4,598 yards and 34 touchdowns. Although some of his troubles could be laid at the feet of the team’s offensive line, Johnson looked disinterested and appeared to run tentatively, often times failing to hit the hole hard and turn up field. Removing three solid performances against three of the worst run defenses in the league (Carolina, Tampa Bay and Buffalo), Johnson managed just 574 rushing yards and 9.7 FPts/G in his other 13 contests. The question is can Johnson bounce back in 2012? He has little competition for touches and the supporting cast at the skill positions has been upgraded so defenses will not be able to focus on shutting him down as much as they have in the past. Along the offensive line, Steve Hutchinson was signed to shore up the left guard position but troubles remain at center. While some may view Johnson as a boom/bust pick, he is unlikely to perform worse than he did last season and he has tremendous upside. Expect him to produce at a rate somewhere between what he did in 2010 and 2011, good enough to be taken as a low-end RB1.

Shonn Greene signs with Titans -- Wed Mar 13 7:00 pm --
Jets now shallow at RB | The New York Jets suffered another free-agent loss, as leading rusher Shonn Greene finalized a contract Wednesday with the Tennessee Titans. The deal is for three seasons and $10 million, league sources told ESPN. The Jets didn't see Greene as a fit in their new West Coast system and didn't make a strong push to re-sign him. The Titans targeted him because of his bruising running style, which they believe will be an ideal complement to that of Chris Johnson. (ESPN)
FF Today's Take: This signing comes as a knock to the fantasy value of both Greene and Johnson. Greene could poach a number of Johnson's red zone touches, particular near the goal line, thereby limiting CJ2K's fantasy value. Greene's fantasy value drops as he's likely to receive far fewer overall touches than he did in New York.
|  | CJ2K says he'll outrush AP in 2013 -- Fri Mar 1 12:30 pm --
And thinks he'll make a run at breaking single season record | Chris Johnson is confident of achieving big things in the 2013 season. Not only does he expect to rush for more yards than Adrian Peterson, he also believes he can make a run at Eric Dickerson's all-time single-season rushing record. The Tennessee Titans running back, coming off a 1,243-yard season in 2012, was asked on ESPN's "NFL Live" on Wednesday if he or the Minnesota Vikings' Peterson, who threatened the all-time rushing record with his 2,097 yards, would have more rushing yards next season. "Of course, '2K," Johnson said, referring to his nickname - CJ2K - which he received after rushing for 2,006 yards in 2009. When asked how confident he felt about his answer, he said he was "very confident." (ESPN)
FF Today's Take: Johnson's been fortunate enough to stay healthy throughout his career, but these words should be accepted as nothing more than mere puffery. Both 27-year-old backs have exceptional ability, but Peterson gets more carries. For fantasy purposes, Peterson is much more valuable because of the number of touches he gets near the goal line. Johnson's 10 touchdowns over the past two seasons pale in comparison to Peterson's 26.
| | CJ2K opposed to two-back system -- Thu Feb 28 11:00 pm --
Speedy RB would prefer to shoulder the load | The Tennessee Titans have a running back in Chris Johnson who is being paid lavishly to be the focal point of their offense. So it was interesting to hear the opinion of new Titans running backs coach Sylvester Croom, who told a Nashville radio station this month the Titans will continue to feature Johnson next season, but plan to add a second running back that can help shoulder the load. When Johnson visited NFL Network studios on Wednesday, Around The League made sure to ask Johnson about it. "Throughout all the years I've been in the league, when we get in the red-zone area they always put another guy in there," Johnson said. "I think people are making more than what it is ... But if it comes down to a two-back system, I don't agree with that."
(NFL.com)
FF Today's Take: Johnson shouldn't be too worried about sharing the backfield with another running back. The 27-year-old has surpassed 290 touches in each of his five NFL seasons.
