Well three weeks in the season, and fantasy football owners of Chris Johnson and Frank Gore are well below disappointed with the production their running backs. Add me to that list, cuz like an idiot, Frank Gore fell in my draft, and I decided to pull the trigger on him in round 3. I guess that's not as disappointing as the sorry lads that pulled the trigger on Chris Johnson in round 1. Here's some numbers....46 attempts and 98 yards for Chris Johnson; 13 receptions for 91 yards (0-TDS!)...and 59 attempts and 148 yards for Frank Gore; 6 receptions for 36 yards (1 TD).....TERRIBLE. Two of the biggest paid running backs this off-season...putting up lack-luster performances...and I might add, against sub-par teams. Yeah their offense isn't the greatest, but It might be time to panic. Chris Johnson has a better chance of coming back to life, especially with the injury to Kenny Britt(torn ACL)...so it might be worth the wait.
My advice: Wait til Gore has a good week and SELL! Yeah, I'm panicking...and Johnson...either wait it out or sell now. His value diminishes every week he puts up a lack-luster performance. If you're in need of a RB now, then get rid of the guy.
I think Chris Johnson has a better chance at redeeming himself. He did miss the whole pre-season and training camp because of his hold out but you would think he would be up to speed by now with going into the week 4. And with kenny Britt out, the titans will need Johnson to step up his game.
