I own both and right now plan on starting Chris Johnson over Forte.. unless Forte has a tremendous matchup that week.
The Shark Pool seems to fairly split on these two guys.........with a slight lean to Chris Johnson. But, with all the hype around CJ.....I guess that's not very surprising.
Does anybody have any RECENT direct quotes from Fisher or Lovie that would help solidify either Forte's or CJ's continued large roll (snaps/touches) in the offense?

Amazing. I came into this thread looking for perspective on Johnson, because I'm contemplating a straight-up trade for Santonio Holmes. And I too cannot decide if I am mad for considering it.

How are these projections looking to the end of the season through 3 games?

Not that good. Forte clearly is outperforming CJ, especially in the receiving area.CJ prorated after week 3:How are these projections looking to the end of the season through 3 games?

I think it is fairly ridiculous to assume that CJ3 will have zero rushing TD's on the season at the end of the year regardless of the current projection; especially with his ability to break off long runs. I also doubt that Forte will reach the number of attempts you are projecting. 389 attempts would be one attempt short of the NFL Record set by Eric Dickerson during his rookie season in 1983.So let's get realistic here. CJ3's numbers will likely be higher than the projection - especially if his rushing TD totals come up. Forte will be lower than projected because he won't sustain the pace on attempts and yardage he is currently on. I think Forte will still surpass CJ3's numbers because he will touch the ball more, but I don't think the gap will be as large as the current projects indicate.Not that good.

I believe Forte will beat out CJ. Both teams want to run the ball often and Forte isn't really splitting carries with anyone. Forte has been productive and Chicago brass needs to overcome the bad publicity from the C Benson pick; they need to prove their genius.
This does not mean that CJ won't be a productive runner, he just won't put up the same numbers as Forte. Fischer is living up to his word in splitting the carries between Lendale and CJ. It would be hard for CJ to match Forte's production given the split in carries.
