Week 9 Waiver Wire: Javon Ringer and the Top Running Backs to Snag

Eric BallOct 31, 2011

Chris Johnson is really starting to piss people off.

Forget all his fantasy owners, he's even making his own coaching staff angry at this point.

CJ2K had 14 rushing attempts against the hapless Colts run defense, but was only able to churn out 34 yards.

Javon Ringer had just as many carries and put up 60 yards. He looked fast, hit holes harder and helped seal the deal in the 27-10 win.

Did I mention that he added another 42 yards on five catches through the air?

If Johnson can't take advantage of the Colts, then this isn't his year. The Titans are beginning to realize as much, which means Ringer is going to keep picking up more carries.

Here are two others to pick up after a promising Week 8:

Maurice Morris, Detroit Lions

Morris won the audition for starting running back while Jahvid Best gets healthy. Against the Denver Broncos, he ran for 58 yards and a touchdown. He got more touches and averaged over two yards more per carry than his competition in Keiland Williams.

He is a must-start for the next few weeks, while Best continues to deal with concussion-like symptoms. 

Delone Carter, Indianapolis Colts

As Joseph Addai continues to sit on the bench, it's Carter that has played much better than Donald Brown.

He only recorded 46 yards on nine carries, but his 5.1 yards per carry are much better than the 3.3 average that Brown had.

It's only a matter of time before Jim Caldwell realizes that Carter is clearly the better option.

Carter is a worthy flex play in the coming weeks.
