Chris Johnson in week one (1 Viewer)

[timschochet]

Now that Chris Johnson is signed, this becomes the key question for Johnson owners and I'd like to poll the Shark Pool. Some posters have suggested that he will only play part time in week one. One poster pointed out that the heat in Jacksonville will cause problems. Several posters have warned that Johnson is more susceptible to a hamstring injury because he held out, though this seems based on a very limited amount of anecdotal evidence. What is your take? Would you start him week one or look for other options?

I'm guessing a hair below 20 touches - so I voted "between 10-20". For some reason 19-20 seems right to me.

Reports say that CJ is a beast at staying in shape, though, so I could see him going above 20 as well.

Carries...17++Catches...4+=Touches...21+

yea that seems about right to me100+ total yards and a TD...about 18-20 Fantasy points would be my "Guesstimate"

Are you guys for real? there's no way he gets a full work load if any at all. there's no way he's in game shape infact I bet he doesn't even play week 1 so chill out. Wishful thinking.

will see, even if he plays it will be limited so i wouldn't play him. Let's not forget what happens to hold outs, a lot of times they get hurt because there not in Shape...!!!

there's no way he gets a full work load if any at all. y? What makes you feel that way?



there's no way he's in game shape...I'm sure he has a pot belly and has been eating Hungry Man for dinner these last 8 months



infact I bet he doesn't even play week 1...where can I get action on that prop bet? Hoart???

so chill out. Wishful thinking. Have you ever heard of the term projecting on to someone?

just having a little fun, don't get bent.

LaDainian Tomlinson was a holdout as I remember and he got the rock 37 times in his 1st game? IIRC...

Emmitt Smith was fine after missing the first 2 games of the season if my memory serves me correct.

I would put CJ on par with those two talent wise.

15 carries, 70 yards

3 catches, 22 yards

1 td

Some of it probably depends on how the game is going, is it close, how is he performing, etc. But, make no mistake, they didn't give him all this money to sit on the sidelines. As has been reported, they wanted to get him in here now so he could play Week 1. He will probably get spelled a little more than normal, but he'll be out there a lot.

My guess: 18 carries, 93 yards 4 catches 54 yards

ahhh that's so cute and whitty, Ill bet you and all you guy's projecting him to have a good game have him, LOL

Jacksonville was tied for second worst in the NFL in Yards per Rush allowed last year with 4.7. Did JAX inprove their defense in some meaningful fashion that I missed in the offseason?

If Munchak and Bruce Matthews have any strides at all with the OLine...CJs gonna break 100 on the ground and 150 total.

It's a good game for Johnson to get some good reps in before his week 2 opponent!

FYI...when you compete in 10-20 leagues you're going to own just about everyone at some point. Most folks in here don't play in just 1 league and I'm sure you don't either. I just think it's preposterous to post that Chris Johnson won't even see the field in week 1.

Titans RB2 Javon RInger is dinged up, can't see Jamie Harper toting it 20 times week 1 after Johnson signs for $53m, sorry. Good Luck.

Your right, we do have him. You must be the dummy that passed up on him in round 2 and allowed a team to have alongside a jamal charles caliber player.
