analytics department Shad, just saying. \u00a0While Toby Gerhart sits this week to chisel the concrete off his feet, rookie Storm Johnson is poised to handle a bulk of the carries against a Tennessee Titans defense that just got gashed to the tune 176 yards by Cleveland. \u00a0Johnson is no Ben Tate, but 70ish all-purpose yards, a few catches and a TD are within reach.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigredsportsmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/storm01.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1849 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigredsportsmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/storm01.jpg?resize=245%2C205&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"storm01\" width=\"245\" height=\"205\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mohammed Sanu, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (56%Y!) &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This recommendation is quite simple, see if you can find the pattern: AJ Green (Out), Marvin Jones (Out), Tyler Eifert (Out). \u00a0Sanu becomes the de facto #1 receiver for the Red-Rifle. \u00a0I fully expect Hue Jackson to kick it old school and run the snot out of Gio Bernard and Jeremy Hill (50%Y! &#8211;
