This week's conflict of interest is one of my favorite finds of the season and a guy that wasn't even drafted in a 10-team, 20 round draft and who I scooped up on the waiver wire the next day — Titans running back Chris Johnson (pictured, right).Sure, he's splitting time in Tennessee with LenDale White, but Johnson got some goal line carries for the first time last weekend and hasn't yet been REALLY unleashed by head coach Jeff Fisher.
I hope he doesn't unleash him this week either. I have him in my Yahoo league in a matchup that I should honestly (searching for a piece of wood to knock on) win quite easily. In that league, we play two QBs and both of my opponents quarterbacks are on byes, so he's only able to field one QB against me — the immortal Joe Flacco.
Meanwhile, my opponent has him in my NFL.com league. Johnson has a tough matchup this week (Baltimore), but he scored two touchdowns against an allegedly impossible matchup last weekend (Minnesota's run defense). Here's hoping the Ravens keep him in check and that he doesn't get hurt (R.I.P. fellow rookie RB Rashard Mendenhall)
Dream statline: 14 carries, 76 yards, 0 TDs in a win against the Ravens.
