CJ utilizing 'Ferrari' speed: Tennessee cornerback Cortland Finnegan is fast, very fast. And he refuses to even think about racing teammate Chris Johnson. Not even for fun. "There's some things you just don't do," Finnegan said with a smile. "A Ferrari and a Toyota Corolla will not race. I feel like I'll be a Toyota Corolla. I'm not going to race a Ferrari." Johnson is the speedy second-year running back from East Carolina who is leaving defenders in his wake. He's leading the NFL in yards rushing (824) and yards per carry with a whopping 6.9 average, and was the AFC offensive player of the week Wednesday for his franchise-record 228 yards rushing in last week's 30-13 win over Jacksonville. Call it arrogant, but Johnson said he hasn't seen anyone match his speed -- measured at 4.24 seconds in a 40-yard dash -- yet in the NFL. "I'm not all about my speed. I can make people miss. I can break tackles," he said.

Fantasy Analysis

It's part of Johnson's march to being one of the NFL's best, and this season's goal is 2,000 yards, which has been done only five times and not since Jamal Lewis in 2003. If he reaches that, Johnson plans to reward his linemen by buying them cars. He has topped 100 yards three times this season, and his 228 yards was the NFL's best since Adrian Peterson rushed for 296 on Nov. 4, 2007, against San Diego. It was also the 16th best rushing total since the NFL/AFL merger in 1970. Some running backs may have more touchdowns than Johnson's four, but each of his scoring runs has been longer than 52 yards, and he is busy rewriting the Tennessee record book, passing by names like Billy Cannon, Earl Campbell and Eddie George. Johnson has two of the franchise's three longest TD runs with an 89-yarder and a 91-yarder -- both this season. "It feels real good to look at some of the guys who have played before me, then come in and break a record. But records are made to be broken," Johnson said. San Francisco (3-4) is next to defend Johnson this Sunday, and coach Mike Singletary's 49ers rank second in the NFL against the run. They've allowed only one team to top 100 yards this season. But he said preparing for Johnson is very difficult and deceptive. Continue to start CJ despite the tough matchup.
