Larry Johnson or Mike Turner?

Question

Not sure who to start as my #2 RB this week. Steven Jackson is my #1. I drafted LJ in the second round, but Chiefs at Pats scares me.

Answer 1

Congrats on a good stable of RBs.  I would start Turner.  The Pats will be tough against the run this year..no doubt.  And KC will get behind soon and have to throw the ball more to try and catch up fast.  Both are not good for LJ.  

Turner, while unproven in the regular season, has had a great pre-season.  Couple that with the fact they are playing Detroit...the decision is Turner.  I don't expect him to be the next LT but I do see a top 12 RB season since he should get most of the carries in ATL.  

Answer 2

johnson def

Answer 3

I'm A Chiefs fan but I have to go with Turner.I thank LJ is the better man but they play the Pats plus I don't like the Chiefs offense line yet.

Answer 4

I have both these players on my team as well. Along with marion barber and l. maroney.

i actually am going barber maroney

but

i would go with turner over lj, i just think the pats d will slow him down and i think turner could run all over the lions  

Answer 5

Tough call on this one. I like them both but it's hard to go against a guy who is now at 100% and was the clear cut #1 pick two years ago when heathly. They use LJ like a machine and he like AD for Vikings is the entire team. I think I would probably go with LJ but Mike Turner is waiting for his chance to prove everyone he can carry the load.  

Answer 6

I'm benching LJ this week, I have Gore, LJ, and Thomas Jones.  I'm not sure who Turner is playing this week, but I'm not a fan of that Pats game.  They will get behind and the only production LJ will get is from receiving.  I trust Thomas Jones will produce more VS. Miami than LJ VS New England

Can you say Turner will produce better than LJ VS New England?

Answer that question and there is your answer.
