Appears to be a 50% chance of showers in CIN for Sunday. I'm guzzling the CJ3 kool-aide and currently have him in my lineup over Lynch (also starting Portis). However, I'm wondering if a wet field might limit the Tennesse Torch. Part of CJ3's unbelievable talent is his ability to make insane cuts while accelerating - I'm a little concerned he might lose some of his elusiveness/effectiveness on a wet track. However, I'm feeling a little better after reading the following description of Paul Brown Stadium's surface from the Bengal website:
"The Bengals began play at Paul Brown Stadium in 2004 on a new FieldTurf playing surface. FieldTurf's surface looks, feels and plays like natural grass. It offers a consistent playing surface regardless of the weather conditions. The loose-fiber system is safer for players than previous synthetic surfaces. Shoes do not stick, and the softer surface minimizes compression injuries. FieldTurf's patented "infill system" replicates natural soil, and is comprised of a mixture of sand and recycled rubber."
Any cause for concern here?

And I'm not worried about some rain in CIN. Wet conditions would only lead to even LESS passing, so more opps. I'll be more interested to see how Collins performs in the starter role. If he can minimize the bonehead picks, TN should perform better on O.
