Rudi Johnson
While I appreciate the fact that Carson
Palmer, Chad Johnson, and T.J. Houshmandzedah are a huge reason why
Cincinnati is no longer in the dog house, I think it’s time we sat back
and recognized how key Rudi has been to all of this success.
His season numbers now include 309
carries, 1352 rushing yards (that’s 4.4 yards per carry for those of you
counting at home), and 12 rushing touchdowns.
This past week was his best fantasy
performance of the year with 117 yards rushing and 2 scores. What’s more
impressive is that this is the most recent of a six game stretch of
climbing numbers with 17, 20, 23, 22, 24, and now 25 points.
So for this week, those past weeks, this
season, and his contribution to the Bengals' best year in a long
time…Rudi is definitely a Freak of the Week.
