Chris Johnson's goal? 2,500 rushing yards
In 2009, Titans running back Chris Johnson was only 100 yards shy of breaking the single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards held by Eric Dickerson.
Not only does he want to break the record this year, he wants to annihilate it.
"Basically just come out here this year, another year, and try to get those 2,500 yards -- make all my fantasy owners proud," Johnson said, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Last year, he finished with 2,509 yards from scrimmage, which broke the single-season record held by Marshall Faulk.
But to rush for 2,500 yards in a season, Johnson would need 156.25 yards per game (as pointed out by Pro Football Talk).
Johnson went over 100 yards in 12 of his 16 games including his last 11 games; however, he had only two games with more than 156 rushing yards.
Although I think it's unlikely that he reaches 2,000 rushing yards (again), he's still worthy of the top overall pick in fantasy drafts.
So, in other words, as a Chris Johnson fantasy owner, you already make us proud, Chris.
