Didn't this guy also say he is going to buy his entire O-Line a car if he breaks 2000 rushing yards this season? He is certainly on pace to do that.

Actually he is 41 yards off that pace, or 5 yards per game. Close, but that is how crazy 2000 yards rushing is.

how much does he put up on buffalo this weekend? the worst run defense in the league. the one that gave up 3 TDs and 120 to ryan moats.
all kind of records could fall sunday.
or not.

I only see 3 run Ds the rest of the year that should keep him under 100. He might have an off game or a few, but he has as good a chance to exceed 2000 as anyone has. Not to get ahead of ourselves, but 2105 is within reach. 150 per game is a lot, but just maybe...

LBJ is the 6th person in the last 50 years to average at least 6.0 YPC in his team's first 8 games, minimum 100 carries.
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/tiny/xYNW8
Johnson's 6.7 YPC is second behind Jim Brown, who in 1963 got off to a lightning hot start. He averaged over 10 YPC in his first two games, thanks to a 60, 70 and 80 yard TDs. He was able to do pretty well the rest of the season, too.

I love this guy. Some guys just have it and his ability for being able to handle larger loads as a smaller back is nice to see as well. This guy is an elite talent that has many good years of football ahead.

Those 3 guys listed above for most yards in a season...is that total yardage? Or rushing yardage? Just sayin'...Ray Rice has over 1000 yards so far this year in 8 games played...if he keeps it up, he could post 2000+ total yards as well.
But back to the point, CJ is a monster of a fantasy back. I'll admit...I wasn't real big on him going into the season becaues of all of Lendale's vulture TDs last season...but boy was I wrong! He's tearin' it up..definitely a special talent.

Ray Rice could potentially do something very special as well. He's just off the pace of rushing and receiving for over 1000 yards.
wow ... so they basically plagiarized AP's nickname?
Oh Yes!

Although I'd like to see it, I don't think he gets to 2000 yards. He IS the Titans offense right now and teams will game plan to try and stop him.
Although I'd love to see him get 300 yards against the Bills (CJ is on my fantasy team), watch the Bills do every thing in their power to shut him down.
V. Young has to keep defenses honest with same sort of passing game in order for CJ to run wild and free week after week.

Ah..... there's a Chuck Muncie sighting in that list. Also interesting to see Woods, Wendell Tyler, Robert Smith and Napolean Kaufman in that top 20 with all those HOF'ers.___>>> Actually the player's season this most reminds me of is OJ Simpson in 1973.Chase Stuart said:LBJ is the 6th person in the last 50 years to average at least 6.0 YPC in his team's first 8 games, minimum 100 carries.
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/tiny/xYNW8
Johnson's 6.7 YPC is second behind Jim Brown, who in 1963 got off to a lightning hot start. He averaged over 10 YPC in his first two games, thanks to a 60, 70 and 80 yard TDs. He was able to do pretty well the rest of the season, too.
I say that because there is no passing game on this team, or hardly any. There's even less of one now in the last two games when CJ (sorry, yes) has really taken off. Defenses are stacked up against him and the run and he is still doing this. Amazing.

as a CJ owner, I am a little bit miffed to see the Titans give Johnson the ball at the 1 yard line. He had two TDs this past weekend that I believe came on runs from inside the 5. That is LenDale White territory.
I may be the first fantasy owner of a stud RB who isn't thrilled to see him get goal line carries... he is small, and while he hasn't shown much injury risk so far, it's always best to minimize the risk. Why would Fisher give CJ those carries instead of LenDale? I want CJ to stay fresh to break off those 80 yard runs, not waste his talent ramming it up the middle on the goal line. I'll take the TDs and be happy this week, but I'm more excited to see him gun it for 2000 rushing yards.
