Chris Johnson had a promising outing in the Jets second preseason game. He ran 10 times for 63 yards. With Chris Ivory out, Johnson saw a lion's share of the carries (Bilal Powell rushed only 4 times on the night). (ESPN)
Fantasy Impact
Johnson has been abjectly ignored from a fantasy perspective as he is expected to split carries with Ivory and Powell. Tonight, he proved he may still have some value (fantasy wise) against a stout Bengals defense. He may be separating himself from the rest of the Jets backfield as the most viable fantasy option.
