I have the exact same decision in one of my leagues.. & my bro & I are leaning towards starting Johnson over Turner as well.. It's really tough & could turn out to be stupid to bench a guy after getting 220 yards but you have to think the Bucs D is going to stack the box this week & make Ryan beat them. I think Turner will still do fine but I fell there's more upside with CJ this week..
me too.
Why didn't you try and upgrade another position with McGahee? Personally, in any league with PPR, or maybe any league period, I think Johnson is a better start than Jacobs. Jacobs will not be getting a lot of receptions, so even if he does score more (might not seeing as Johnson got the goal line touches until he got hurt after which White got half his carries and the 1 yard TD).Swapping McGahee for Jacobs and keeping Johnson on the bench seems like a wash. Someone mentioned that depth is good after the draft because not all projections are correct and injuries happen. Once things start to become clear, depth doesn't help you win the championship, trading McGahee and say Evans for TO and slotting Johnson in for McGahee does.
It's too bad the Titans didn't get VY any weapons this year.Word of caution: I expect that if the Titans are up with a reasonable cushion that you'll see a lot of Lendale in the 2nd half. Maybe 4 to 1 LW over CJ. On the other hand, the reason they could have that cushion could be the CJ has racked up.I'm a little surprised that you didn't see CJ in the slot or split out wide last week. Can you imagine putting him in motion out wide and a linebacker going out to cover him?
The game wasn't broadcast in my area and I don't have Sunday Ticket.
I'm still laughing. These guys are studs. I couldn't imagine sitting some of these guys mentioned in this thread for Chris Johnson.
I'm not benching any major names for him, just K. Smith, D. Williams, C. Perry, and D. Driver.But......we will see who is laughing Tuesday. I don't agree sitting him for Jackson or Barber, but you could make cases for Addai and Portis.
I remember seeing one play, maybe a 3rd down, that seemed designed to quick throw to Johnson against a LB and Young lobbed the ball with no touch over his head.
It was pretty bad. IIRC, Johnson motioned to the slot and easily got behind a LB. Any touch on the ball at all, and he's in space and already running with it.(this isn't to argue against wmi's point - i didn't see the whole game, but that's the only play I recall like that. Johnson catching passes out of the slot for a bunch of yards was the compromise position in that long Johnson thread.)
You have chosen well. Welcome to the darkside.
That should be no brainer
That's exactly my situation and the result is the same.
not necessarily...here's a quote from Fisher..."You saw this afternoon that he can carry it inside and outside, he can catch out of the backfield, he can handle screens," Titans head coach Jeff Fisher said. "I wouldn't hesitate to give him the ball in short yardage situations because he's so quick. He's a complete back. Obviously he's a little bit undersized (5-11, 200) but he makes up for it with good speed."
Ditto, in 2 leagues.
Same in 1 league.Debating in another - 2 of CJ, Jacobs or Lynch
I thought (and still think) you were unfairly hosed in that post. You said from the very start you were going CJ3 over Edge.
Oh my God, I can't believe I didn't catch that when I wrote it. Good catch! 
Is your question..."did L White lose the starting job?". If so, answer is yes.
