SIT

CHRIS JOHNSON, RUNNING BACK, TENNESSEE TITANS

QUICK! What team has the third best rushing defense in the NFL, giving up just 84.5 yards a game on the ground? Did you answer the Arizona Cardinals? Be honest. No, I didn’t think so. Well, the Cardinals are that good against the run. Chris Johnson has become a match up sort of running back. While he is still has the 13th most rushing yards in the NFL, he is very inconsistent. He has four games over 80 yards (but only one over 100), and 4 games under 35 yards. Do you want to take a chance like that against the number 3 ranked run defense in the semi finals of your fantasy league?

There is a good chance you have a running back with a better match up on your bench. Be smart and pull Chris Johnson out of your line up this week.
