Just thinkin' about tomorrow

I'm actually going to start by thinking a bit about what happened the other night.  As I was watching the Titans-Colts game (otherwise known as the gift from the gods to those dumb enough to have started Kerry Collins -- that's me!), I started thinking about Chris Johnson and his struggles this year.  I'm not going to pretend to know if CJ is worn down, playing behind a worse line, or just not getting any support from a passing game.  However, it is indisputable that his numbers are way down from 2009, and that got me wondering.  Will the Titans bring in another back to take some of the workload away from Johnson in 2011?  Will they opt to increase the load for current backup Javon Ringer?  It's at least worth thinking about considering Johnson's struggles.  Many NFL teams have cut into their stars' touches for less defensible reasons.  It's worth thinking about, at least for keeper leaguers at this point right now.  How much value would Johnson lose if they stripped away his goal line touches?

Anyway, here is what I'm thinking about...looking forward.

Weather, weather, weather.  It's going to play a major factor tomorrow.

Will 49ers RB Anthony Dixon claim the role?

How is Ryan Torain going to fit into the Redskins backfield?  Is he really healthy?

No Asante Samuel for Philly.  Exactly how many points are we going to see in Dallas tomorrow night?  Start EVERYONE.  We haven't seen a game with more fantasy potential than the Broncos-Chiefs tilt last week that ended 10-6.

How are we supposed to view Brandon Jackson-James Starks and Darren McFadden-Michael Bush in light of Starks and Bush getting more carries last week?

Is the Seattle passing game dead?  No Williams, no Obamanu.  Brandon Stokley?  Ugh.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Chargers offense.  Ryan Mathews?  Mike Tolbert?  Floyd?  V-Jax?  I think Floyd is a nice play.  The rest are dice rolls.

Pierre Thomas is supposed to return to the Saints lineup.  Just in time to kill everyone who made a late push using Chris Ivory these last few weeks.

John Skelton is now in charge of keeping Larry Fitzgerald's fantasy season alive.  We wish you well.

And of course, the weekly confession of love for Danario Alexander.  This week he's scoring three times.  Or once.

Cheers,
