Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson will look to get his season off to a little better start than he did last year when he takes the field Sunday Week 1 at Pittsburgh. Last year against New England on opening day, Johnson managed just 4 yards on 11 carries, though he did catch six passes.
Johnson will have his work cut out for him against the Steelers. While he did have a good game against them Week 6 last year -- 19 carries for 91 yards with four catches for 23 more -- Pittsburgh allowed the fourth-fewest Fantasy points per game to the running back position last season. It should be noted that the last time Johnson played in Pittsburgh, Week 5 of 2011, he rushed for 51 yards with a touchdown.
Johnson has rushed for a combined 28 yards in Week 1 games since going for 142 and two scores Week 1 of 2010 against Oakland. He'll look to get off to a better start against the Steelers and should be considered a low-end No. 2 Fantasy RB for the game.
