Johnson wants to be MVP: The Tennessean reports that Titans RB Chris Johnson has high expectations this year heading into his sophomore season. "I want to be NFL MVP, and lead the league in rushing," Johnson said. "I want to be named to another Pro Bowl. I like to set my goals high, and everything is possible." On the heels of his highly successful rookie season, the Titans want to put Johnson to work even more this fall. That could mean more carries and more catches, but also more creative ways to get them. The paper reports Johnson could be moved all over the field. "There's places we can move him, routes we can run with him, looks we can do with him that we held back last year because I thought I was stretching him too much," offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger said. "But C.J. needs to show he can do those things and he'll work at it. And the more he shows the more we can give him. If C.J. wants to learn it and work at it then we have a chance to move him all around the place."

Fantasy Analysis

A first-round pick last year, Johnson rushed for 1,228 yards and nine touchdowns. He also caught 43 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown. His 1,488 yards from scrimmage ranked fifth in the AFC. He had 21 plays of 15 yards or more. Johnson has the potential for better stats this year. He will still lose touchdowns to LenDale White, but Johnson put up enough positive stats to be considered a No. 1 Fantasy RB this year. He is worth drafting in the first round with a pick beginning with No. 7 overall. Yes, he's that good.

RB Chris Johnson is encouraging fans to submit end zone celebration suggestions to him via his Twitter account, which is ChrisJohnson28. The speedy running back was fined last season for playing the bongo drums behind the end zone in Kansas City after a touchdown run against the Chiefs. "I'm going to test out celebrations," Johnson said. "I've gotten some, but I feel like I didn't get any one that caught my attention yet. I got a whole lot of reaction. It really surprised me, because I just started Twitter week during OTAs, and I've already got like 500 followers. It really surprised me a lot." Johnson said he got about 20 suggestions in the first day or so, and the numbers keep growing as word spreads of his request. Johnson said his aim in the suggestions is to be able to one-up traditional end zone antics by Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco, and he believes asking fans in Nashville can help. "I think they should (help me), being that this is a big country (music) town or whatever. I think they should be able to come up with some good things, because they're used to entertainment," Johnson said. 62/5/2009

Johnson is using his Twitter account seeking touchdown celebration suggestions because the Tennessee running back wants to top the antics of Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco. "I'm trying,'' Johnson said Tuesday. "I need help. I'm pretty sure they have somebody to help them, so I'm thinking hard now.''

Advice

Johnson isn't new to TD celebrations. He drew a $10,000 fine from the NFL last October for celebrating a 66-yard TD run in Kansas City by banging on drums in the end zone - and wasn't happy being fined for trying to have fun. He tweeted last Friday asking for help and also alerted his followers to "pay close attention to what i have in store.''

June 12, 2009: 2009 Fantasy outlooks: Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans love to run the ball, so there will be plenty of carries and touchdowns to go around. However, as Jamey Eisenberg writes, an improved passing game is what Fantasy owners want to see this season.
