2012-03-03T13:57:05-05:00

Titans RB Chris Johnson tweeted this earlier this afternoon: "Statement is I'm gonna lead the league n rushing this year save this."

Johnson, the team's first-round pick in 2008, set career lows last year in rushing yards (1,047), rushing touchdowns (four) and yards-per-carry average (4.0). While he had three big games in a four-game span (Weeks 10 to 13), Johnson also had six games with less than 35 rushing yards last season.

Tennessee Titans Forum • Jared Cook has 2nd 100-yard game in a row

2011-12-25T00:50:20-05:00

In his past four games, Titans tight end Jared Cook has given fantasy owners both extremes. In other words, he's had his two best games and two worst games of the season during that span.

After back-to-back no-catch games, Cook, the team's third-round pick in 2009, has finished with back-to-back 100-yard games.

In Week 15, Cook had nine receptions for 103 yards and no touchdowns. If you started him this week, you got 22 fantasy points in leagues with standard scoring as Cook finished with eight receptions for 169 yards and a touchdown.

Before these past two games, Cook had two or less receptions in nine games this year.

With a strong second half last year (26 receptions for 303 yards and a touchdown), Cook seemed to poised to break out this season. Perhaps the momentum that he is building at the end of this season will carry over into the start of the 2012 season.

Tennessee Titans Forum • CJ2K rushes for 190 yards vs. Bucs

2011-11-27T16:36:53-05:00

Going into today's game, Titans running back Chris Johnson had twice as many games (four) with less than 25 rushing yards as he had 100-yard games (two).

In today's game against the Bucs, however, Johnson had a season-high 190 rushing yards on 23 carries. He also caught one pass for three yards.

Although it was Johnson's 27th 100-yard game of his career, he has only two games with more than 190 yards. Both of those games were in 2009 when he rushed for more than 2,000 yards.

The Buccaneers ranked second in the league in most fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, but the good news for Johnson and his fantasy owners is that he has three more solid fantasy matchups.

In the next three weeks, the Titans face the Bills, Saints and Colts. Going into this week, the Bills and Colts allowed the sixth-most and third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs, respectively. The Saints have allowed the 14th-most.

On the season, Johnson has 183 carries for 699 yards and two touchdowns plus 39 receptions for 268 yards.
