Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson was listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite being listed on the team's injury report all week with a bothered ankle, Johnson is expected to suit up and start today.
Chris Johnson injury: Ankle injury not limiting fantasy value
Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson (ankle) is probable for Week 8. We breakdown the fantasy implications.

Johnson was a full participant all week, and the injury does not seem to be slowing him down a bit. The Titans’ featured tailback has been heating up since his terribly slow start to the season. He could have another big day against a suspect Colts defense.
Fantasy Analysis: Fantasy owners that drafted Johnson either hung tight with him or pawned him off already in a fit of rage and disappointment. In the past two season, Johnson has been showing us he’s a real late bloomer during season play. He seems to be finally catching up to speed though, and has cut down on the dancing behind the line of scrimmage.
When healthy, Johnson is a must-start player. CJ2K could be in for one of his monster days today against a very penetrable Colts front.
