Drop Thomas Rawls and pick up Chris Johnson?

Recommended Posts

I need a starting rb for this week with Dion Lewis on bye and I have the following rb's with tough matchups and/or in running back by committee:

 

Lamar Miller vs. NYJ

Ameer Abdullah vs. Sea

Thomas Rawls vs. Det

 

I was going to start Rawls until I read the following blurb from rotoworld and Chris Johnson is still available in my league with Ellington a game-time decision. Should I drop Rawls for Johnson?

My league awards 1 pt per 10 rush/rec yards and 6 pts per rush/rec td.

 

 

"Lynch might not get in any practice reps this week. He's expected to be a game-time decision for Monday night. Thomas Rawls would see the majority of carries in a committee with Fred Jackson if Lynch is held out."

I would pick up Johnson. Even if it doesn't work out this week, there's a good chance Ellington gets hurt again and Johnson again is the lead back. Otherwise it's RBBC. In Seattle, once Lynch is healthy, he's the man.

The question is, how long will it take for Lynch to get healthy though. I was going to start Rawls on MNF and knowing my luck, he'll break out and Lynch will be out for several more weeks.
