Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 16: Chris Johnson gets the Jaguars
Chris Johnson wasn’t a big part of Tennessee’s offense against the Cardinals in Week 15. Does that change for his fantasy owners in Week 16 against the Jaguars?
The Tennessee Titans were slinging the ball all over the field in Week 15 during an overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had an NFL-high 58 attempts in that game and didn't leave much work for running back Chris Johnson on the ground.
While Johnson had just 40 rushing yards against the Cardinals, he accounted for 51 receiving yards and a score in the passing game. His overall offensive output has been underwhelming lately, but at least the Titans are moving the ball. They’ve scored 31 points per game over their last two and have been getting into some shootouts.
Plus, CJ2K is also being involved in the passing game with a combined 14 receptions over his last four contests.
Fantasy impact: He was involved quite a bit in the aerial attack in the last game against the Jaguars with five catches for 43 yards. The Titans should be able to score again now that Fitzpatrick has established some rapport with his offense. Johnson serves as a high-upside RB2.
