Summary

Running Back Rank: #14All Players: #22

Johnson had another season all over the place. The good news was he topped the 1,000-yard rushing mark and had nearly 1,500 total yards. He had five 100-yard games and five games with fewer than 30-rushing yards. Johnson continues to battle consistency issues the last few seasons. He remains a big-play threat every time he touches the ball but struggles some because of this. Instead of taking the yards given to him, he tries to hit the home run too much and gains next to nothing many times when trying that. He remains the starter in Tennessee, though, and should continue to get the bulk of the carries. Johnson has hit the 1,000-yard mark every season in the NFL. He averages 1,709 total yards and 10 touchdowns per season. Johnson has explosive speed and great moves in the open field. He also runs with a little power for a back of his size. Johnson also is a very good receiver, catching at least 36 passes each of his first five seasons in the league. But as mentioned, he has lacked consistency the last few seasons, not playing near the level of early in his career.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Johnson is scary for fantasy teams because he is so boom or bust. It is tough to take him since you are going to have to use such a high pick on him. But he will get his yards and scores in the end. We consider him a low-end No. 1 back. He isn't in that elite category anymore. Look for a season with around 1,500 total yards and eight touchdowns.

Notes

Mar 21 02:33 pm

Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson indicated he does not completely understand the team's signing of RB Shonn Greene but expects to be fine with the situation. 'I have never been a big fan of the two-back system, so I don't know how we plan on using him,' Johnson. 'I'm not afraid of competition, but I was thinking we'd maybe get a draft pick for the other back. And you don't give a guy that kind of money to be just a goal-line guy and in tough-yardage situations. So we'll see what happens.'
Fantasy Impact: Johnson doesn't have much of a choice after having an up and down season last year. He has a lot to prove this year.

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak said RB Chris Johnson remains the featured back in the offense after the team signed RB Shonn Greene.
Fantasy Impact: Not a surprise. The only concern for fantasy teams is Greene getting the goal-line work.

Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson said he is not in favor of the team using a two-running back system in 2013. Johnson added the team has traditionally used a goal-line back in his place, but he wants to remain the primary runner. 'I know I deserve them touches, but at the end of the day, they're the coaches and I gotta go with whatever they're doing. I'm a team player, and if they feel like they can help us win by putting a bigger guy in there I'm not going to pout about it,' Johnson said. 'But if it's a situation where it's a two-back system, I played in a two-back system in college and I don't like it because you really can't get into a groove. That's something I wouldn't be happy with.'
Fantasy Impact: You can't blame Johnson for feeling this way but that doesn't mean he'll get his way.

Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson said he believes he can break the single-season rushing record set by former NFL RB Eric Dickerson. 'Every running back's goal is to break that record,' Johnson said. 'You want to break the 2,105. I believe I can do it.'

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak said the team will be looking for a running back to complement RB Chris Johnson.
Fantasy Impact: It makes sense with the way Johnson has played the last few seasons. He might be better in a more shared role.

Feb 11 04:53 pm

Tennessee Titans running backs coach Sylvester Croom said the team would like to add another running back that will work with RB Chris Johnson. 'I truly believe if you're serious about running the football, you've got to have two guys actually both able to carry the load during the season,' Croom said. '... If you're going to really run, I'm talking 30-plus times a game, there aren't many that can do that for 16 games anymore, their bodies can't take it.' Croom said the team will not look to diminish Johnson's role on offense but would like another back that can do different things and fill a different role.

'I am more excited about this year than any other year after talking to coach,' Johnson said today. 'I feel better about some of the things we're going to do and I want to be a part of it. I feel like coach Munchak wants to put the team back to some winning ways and get things going in the right direction. I feel good about it.'

Feb 04 11:33 am

Tennessee Titans general manager Ruston Webster said the team will take its time before coming to a decision on the future of RB Chris Johnson. The running back will be guaranteed $9 million of his $10 million 2013 salary if he is on the roster beyond the fifth day of the new league year. 'For me, I like to take as much time as I can to make the decision and discuss things with everybody,' Wesbter said. 'Get all the opinions. Then I kind of make the decision together as a team. So yeah, I like taking my time.'
Fantasy Impact: We think they will bring him back but you never know.
