Boy. I'll say.

Back to Chris Johnson and Steve Slaton.

That's not egg...

I was in a mock fantasy draft and I ended up picking up both Johnson and Slaton.... too bad it was a mock.

Thanks

I was always horrible in English (the class). Having a super hot teacher for two years straight didn't help matters.

Ha, that'd be pretty sweet. Although, the Whale had almost double the amount of TD's that CJ and Slaton each had.

To me it's going to boil down to factors outside of both RB's control.

Slaton: O-line needs to improve. Having to juke 2 defenders before hitting positive yardage is not going to help and Steve had to do that a lot vs top tier run defenses (Minny, Pitt, Ten, Bal). Rest of the offense is perfectly capable of applying pressure through the air.

Johnson: The rest of the offense has to catch up to the running game. Collins is okay, but I don't see a lot of 300 yard passing games from him this season. The O-line is already outstanding and the only real potential drawback is Kevin Mawae being old as dirt.

All things considered, the Texans have more pieces in place to do damage on offense. LenDale's presence has me tipping the scales in Slatons favor.

Would anybody really be upset if they had to settle for one because the other is gone in a fantasy draft? Probably not.
