Running back Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans had an inspiring performance Friday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Johnson carried the ball 10 times for 46 yards that included two trips to the end zone.

Analysis: Johnson was once the most highly coveted player in fantasy football, but a hold out in 2011 affected his rhythm and ultimately his production.

He is a home-run hitter from the running back position, and could rack up quite a bit of all-purpose yards this season.
