Summary
Former Titans running back Chris Johnson has definitely lost a step or two over the last few years. You can point to some questionable offensive line play in Tennessee as well as an injury which he's still recovering from (and which required surgery that will have him missing OTAs per ESPN New York's Kieran Darcy) but he's absolutely lost a step. He won't have to carry the load--he will share time with Chris Ivory. That should make him a value as a low-end RB2 or a high-end RB3. He'll get plenty of carries and accumulate yards but not enough of those (or enough touchdowns) to elevate into the top of the RB2 ranks. (June 18)FBG Staff Rankings

Jets | Chris Ivory returns (Fri Jul 25, 10:05 AM) - New York Jets RB Chris Ivory (hamstring) returned to practice Friday, July 25. Our View: We'll see how long this lasts as Ivory's hamstring is more of an issue than Achilles' tendon was during the siege of Troy. In case that's too high-falutin' for you it means it's not good. Even if Ivory looks great in camp, his constant nagging injuries and the presence of Chris Johnson make him no more than an RB4 for fantasy owners.link to story Jets | Chris Johnson moving around (Fri Jul 25, 08:48 AM) - New York Jets RB Chris Johnson was put in motion and flexed out wide a lot in practice Thursday, July 24. Our View: Johnson could have a very good year, especially with the early reminder that Chris Ivory is a walking injury report (thanks hamstring!). We have CJ?K as a high end RB3 right now, but he has some upside, especially if Ivory is continually banged up.
link to story Jets | Chris Johnson feeling good (Thu Jul 24, 04:33 PM) - New York Jets RB Chris Johnson (knee) said he feels good and didn't feel any pain after his first full-go since last season. Our View: Good news for the Jets here. Johnson is taking over as the lead back on offense, but he will split time with Chris Ivory in 2014. It will be interesting to see if the fresh start in New York does him some good. His current ADP is RB24 (5.03) in 12-team PPR leagues.
Jets | Chris Johnson won't be limited (Wed Jul 23, 05:04 PM) - New York Jets RB Chris Johnson (knee) will not be limited at the start of training camp, and he was 'flying' during his conditioning test, according to head coach Rex Ryan. Our View: Good news for the Jets and Johnson here. We'll see if Johnson is energized by a fresh start with his new team. Johnson is not the same player he used to be, and he's clearly lost a step in recent years. His current ADP is RB26 (5.09) in 12-team PPR leagues.
