(+) Considering his decline the last two years since his 2,000-yard season, he's a bit off the fantasy radar at this point
(+) That said, CJ2K is one of six RBs to ever run for 2,000+ yards and currently holds the NFL record for total yards in a season
(+) Chris had a lot of targets (79) and still caught 57 passes in what most would consider a “down season”
(+) His speed (4.24 in the 40-yard dash) as a running back is unprecedented and still allows him to take it to the house any time he touches the ball
(+) The Titans new-look offensive line has had enough time to gel and veteran G Steve Hutchinson was added to the mix, so Johnson should see more holes this season
(+) Johnson won’t be holding out for a contract this year and has been a full-go in all off-season activities. 2011’s woes could have been a reflection on his off-season holdout, but that won’t be the case in 2012
(+) Kenny Britt, Nate Washington, Kendall Wright and Jared Cook give Tennessee plenty of other options that will ease the defensive pressure off of Johnson at the line of scrimmage
(+) After the contract he signed in September of ’11 (six years, $55.26 million with $30 million guaranteed), Johnson has A LOT to prove in 2012
(–) CJ2K averaged over 4.0 yards-per-carry in just six games last season and 2.7 YPC or less in SEVEN games
(–) CJ had only four 100-yard games and scored just four total TDs in 2011
(–) His 4.24 speed may be in the last as he definitely looked slower last season
What has 2 turbo rocket engines, 2,500 yards and not a single MVP vote? That would be our man Chris Johnson (aka “CJ28”, aka “CJ2K”, aka “Every Coach’s Dream”). Yup, the man who set the NFL RECORD for yards from scrimmage in a single season with 2,509- moving past Marshall Faulk who had 2,429- won NFL Offensive Player of the Year but didn't get one MVP vote. He also became just the sixth player in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a season. That's robbery on par with Oceans 11. Not too shabby for a 24-year old kid out of unheralded East Carolina University.
Some other amazing facts about CJ28's stellar season:
~ He can catch the ball too. He was second in receiving out of the backfield with 503 yards (Ray Rice, 702) and eighth in RB receptions with 50.
~ Put up a combined 16 TDs, tied for second most in the NFL with Maurice Jones-Drew (Adrian Peterson, 18)
~ Recorded a rush for for 85+ yards three separate times in 2009. No other running back has ever had that many in their career
~ Rushed for 12 100-yard games on the year, which ties him with Eric Dickerson (HOF), Jamal Anderson, Jamal Lewis, and Barry Foster for second most 100-yard games in a single season (Barry Sanders (HOF), 14)
~ Ended the 2009 season with 11 consecutive 100-yard games, which ties him with Marcus Allen (HOF) for second most all-time (Barry Sanders (HOF), 14)
CJ28’s huge 2009 season has forced fantasy footballers to look towards the 2010 season asking the question, “Who’s better, AP28 or CJ28?” As you can see from the graphic below, these two juggernauts started their careers in nearly identical fashion, so it will be very interesting to see which one comes out on top this next year. Johnson will be riding an 11-game streak of 100+ yard games dating back to Week 6 of last season, so his motivation and determination should be there from the start. Also, he doesn't fumble as much as a teenager on his first date like Purple Jesus does. Can the 5’11”, 195-lb running back keep up this pace for another year? The bullet points below say that he will…
- Vince Young will start from Week 1. CJ28 played far better with Vince Young at the helm than with Kerry Collins, as he averaged 178.7 total yards (141.0 rushing, 37.7 receiving) with Young under center, compared to 120.3 total yards (99.3 rushing, 21.0 receiving) on 18.5 touches per game with Collins at QB.
- The Offensive Line was one of the best in the league, and even though they let go of 39-year old Pro-Bowl Center Kevin Mawae, they re-signed the much younger excellent Guard, Eugene Amano. They also have another good young lineman waiting in the wings named Leroy Harris whom they will plug in Mawae’s place.
- Because of their mediocre record in 2009, their schedule is slightly easier in 2010.
- CJ is pissed off because he didn’t get a single MVP vote, and that’s not an opinion. He said so himself
...But the graphic two slots below spells doom for the 358-carry guy in 2009. Nearly without fail, the 21 guys listed who carried the rock over 350 times in a season had dramatically decreased production the following year. However, we figure the younger, stronger CJ28 could be an exception to the rule.

Johnson signed a five-year, $12 million rookie deal in the summer of ‘08 that included $7 million guaranteed and almost $5 million in roster bonuses over those first two years. The remainder of the contract pays out as follows, though these numbers are certain to change in the near future:
2010 - $550,000
2011 - $800,000
2012 - $960,000
2013 - Free Agent
Javon Ringer is the handcuff to CJ28 this year. If The Human Blur happens to go down, Ringer is very capable of taking over the role, though not even close to being as dynamic as Johnson.
CJ28 is healthy and in great shape yet again going into 2010. Draft at will.
