[Wrigley]

From CBS:

News: Titans RB Chris Johnson is just 42 yards from a mileston, as he can become only the third rookie in franchise history to gain 1,000 yards. The other two are Eddie George and Earl Campbell, which is impressive company for Johnson. And the fact that Johnson would do it on roughly the same number of carries as Campbell did in 1978 makes for another wow. Campbell entered his rookie year with 944 yards on 201 carries just before he went over 1,000 yards with his spectacular 199-yard, four touchdown Monday night performance against Miami. Johnson currently has 958 yards on 203 rushing attempts. "If you look at all the rookies who come in and run for over 1,000 yards, they all turned to have pretty good careers in the NFL," Johnson said in the City Paper. "That was one of my goals coming in here, and to be so close to it, it feels good."

Analysis: In their rookie years, Campbell finished with a flourish with 1,450 yards on 302 carries, while George ended up with 1,368 on 335 attempts. "It's still attainable. We have four more games left, but it depends on how it goes," Johnson said. "If we clinch the playoffs and all that, I'm not sure how much I'll play in the last couple of games. But it's still within reach." Consider Johnson a No. 1 Fantasy RB in Week 14 against Cleveland.

The bolded part is what got my attention

I'm not sure he would have been a good start vs PIT in week 16, but I think we all need him week 15 @HOU.

 

[redjake]

As long as he plays WK15. I hadn't planned on playing him vs. PIT in WK16 anyway.

 

[r0llin_game]

In my 150, I have several options at RB so CJ3 might not even see the lineup one week or another.

 

[Mookie Blaylock]

So if they shut him down, do they roll with LenDale or do they bring in a bench guy?

 

[Your Mom]

I wouldn't worry about him not playing Week 15. Tenn will have a bye the 1st round and they can't keep him out for a month. Week 16 vs pittsburgh is a bad matchup anyways. Probably better if he doesn't play that week, so you dont have to worry about benching your studs.

JMO, but i expect him to get his normal workload at least through Week 15.

 

[pmccurry]

Anyone know exactly how or when the titans will clinch homefield advantage? Have they already?

 

[kinghill]

Good for LenDale I guess?

 

[HoTnickZ]

Thoughts on this week? I mean you can't possibly bench him at this point can you.

 

[koreansteve]

You guys think Ganther will get significantly more playing time if they want to rest both CJ3 and White (albeit probably to a lesser extent for white)? He seems to have jumped Chris Henry on the depth chart.

 

[Dragon1952]

I'm a little worried about how much CJ3 will play this week. After they jumped out on Detroit, he spent virtually the entire 2nd half on the sideline didn't he? If they jump out to a 2 TD lead on Cleveland do they just pound away with LenDale again?
