Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson: 2012 Fantasy Football Profile

A few years ago (2009), Tennessee running back Chris Johnson became only the fifth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000-plus yards in a single season. In addition, he set the NFL single-season record for most yards from scrimmage (2,509) that year.
Since then, however, it's been downhill (or uphill, depending on your perspective) for CJ2K.
With his prolonged holdout last offseason, Johnson had the worst season of his career and had a lot of weeks that he (and fantasy owners) would have preferred to forget.
