Umm, the odds are he'll rush for less than 200 the next week. No calculations needed.
Seriously, with so many variables at play, I think it would be ludicrous to use any kind of statistical study to decide if he's worth a start the follow-up week...especially compared to any other RB on your roster that didn't rush for 200 yards last week.
It's probably pretty safe to say a guy that can put up 200+ in a game is capable of putting up 1500+ on the season. But we knew that already. The question about Turner is whether the supporting cast and his health will allow that to happen. We still don't know that but the odds have now shifted further in his favor.

If you're Earl Christian Campbell, you do it again the next week. Then, a few weeks later you do it again.

Funny, and this is not in reference to you, that there is a strong anti-Turner crowd in here. I recall before Turner was ever drafted by SD, bringing up that I thought he could be a stud in the NFL, as he was a rare size & speed combo. And people laughed because he went to a small school, and then got drafted to be a backup, pretty late in the draft. Since then, many people have knocked Turner.Even after putting up 220 yards against Detroit, people want to knock him, and say it's Detroit, so obviously he wasn't running that well. He broke tackles, showed his speed, showed vision. Sure, against a better defense, he may not have 220 yards. But it wasn't all bad defense. He flashed the same skills he had shown in college and at SD, while getting a full workload. The man has loads of talent.He may not have a super long career a a starter. In fact he reminds me a lot of another former SD back, Natrone Means. But as long as he's playing, he's for real.He'll have over 120 yards this week, and 2 TDs. Mark it down.

Grrr.....
Now I gotta decide if I'm still gonna play Chris Johnson or bench him and play M. Barber.Oh, the humanity of having 3 good RB's.

they are playing at TB this weekend. I doubt he runs wild against THAT defense at their home opener..probably 80-90 yards rushing..

You mean the same Tampa that Pierre Thomas averaged 5.2 YPC against, or that Bush put up 163 total yards against. All he has to do is break one play and he's over 100.
