Quick Hits: Forte, Johnson & Johnson


The fantasy Gods appear to be restoring order to fantasy football leagues around the world over last few weeks. First draft sleeper-turned-stud Fred Jackson went down for the year, and now his successor to the throne, Matt Forte, looks like he will miss 2-6 weeks with a Grade-2 MCL sprain, meaning he is likely done for the remainder of the fantasy season. Run to pick up Marion Barber if you can.

But don't worry, folks, at least Chris Johnson is finally producing for his owners! With a second consecutive monster game, and his third 100 yard rushing game in 4 weeks, he's returned to old form just in time to mock the owners who have already watched their seasons spiral into oblivion.

Elsewhere in Johnson-land, Andre Johnson injured his left hamstring after finally returning from a right hamstring injury that lead him to miss 11 games. The Texans are calling the injury "mild" and his status for Sunday in Cincinnati is questionable.

Big week ahead, as this is the last week of the regular season for most fantasy owners. Pick that waiver wire clean, and good luck!
