Johnson's Signing Impacts Fantasy Football Owners Wish Lists

Fantasy Football owners have spent months preparing for drafts that will take place over the next few weeks, but one thing they could not prepare for happened Tuesday, Larry Johnson ended his hold out and signed a contract extension with the Chiefs.

Last season many owners drafted Johnson ahead of LaDainian Tomlinson, making him the number one pick in many drafts. Although that proved to be a mistake, mainly due to Tomlinson's outrageous season, it showed the value of Johnson in fantasy owners eyes.

This season the top two running backs were easy to figure out, Tomlinson and Steven Jackson. The addition to Johnson to the draft means that owners with the number three pick in their draft are rejoicing.

There are ten to fifteen good running backs available in fantasy drafts, but only Tomlinson and Jackson can compare to the double threat Johnson possesses, rushing and receiving, not to mention his high touchdown total.

Months and months of preparation and evaluation has been altered with just one simple contract signing, leaving fantasy owners all around the country scurrying to reposition their draft wish list, thank you and congratulations Larry Johnson.
