Jackson/Turner/C. Johnson

[LENBO]

Thinking of starting Turner and Johnson and sitting Steven Jackson this week based on match ups.

Jackson has the toughest run D to go up against in the Giants.

Turner faces Tampa who is much tougher against the pass than the run.
He should also get a huge work load as well to keep the pressure off of Ryan.

These two would be automatic but here is the dilemma.

I have been high on Chris Johnson since the pre season and think he has the possibility of a huge week facing the horrible Bengals D. His big first week makes this decision even harder.

Do you think sitting Jackson is a mistake ?

Giants' D is down but he's a workhorse and there only source of offense really other than Holt. You have to start him.

Don't read too much into Turner's week one start. He faced the worst run-stopping defense in the entire NFL and won't find nearly as much room against Tampa.

Chris Johnson won't touch the ball as much but will run for 5+ yards a carry and break a long one. Go with him and SJax.

Trade Turner before next week if possible. He won't be anything special.
