Chris Johnson's Struggles Agravating More Than Just Titans

Former NFL rushing leader Chris Johnson is having a bad year.  Maybe bad year is an understatement.  He is having an excruciating season to date.  As of this week, Johnson is averaging a career worst 3.0 yards per carry and has only scored one touchdown.  This is not only making his real life owners (Tennessee Titans) angry but is is also infuriating his fantasy league owners (ME!).  How can a guy run like he does, with such little heart and so little effort.  He looks like a guy that is scared to have the ball in his hands anymore.  He hits the line with absolutely no speed whatsoever; speed was supposed to be his greatest attribute!  Last week against the Bengals, he turned in his best performance of the season.  This included a total of just over 100 yards from scrimmage (only 64 rushing) and no touchdowns.  I can't decide whether or not to sit him, start him, trade him, or drop him.  It is extremely frustrating as a fantasy league owner and I can't even imagine how the Tenessee Titans are feeling after awarding him with a huge guaranteed contract in the offseason.  Then again, maybe thats why he doesn't seem like he cares anymore.
