Rudi Johnson Out vs. Patriots

Cincinnati Bengals’ running back Rudi Johnson has been ruled out for the Monday Night game against the New England Patriots due to a hamstring injury. 6th year RB Kenny Watson will take his place.

“He’s not as bulky as Rudi is; he’s a little bit quicker,” quarterback Carson Palmer said Thursday. “He’s not going to run people over like Rudi does and break through every arm tackle. But what he lacks in size and power, he makes up for in quickness and speed and great hands out of the backfield.”

Without Rudi, expect the Bengals’ running game to be pretty much non-existent — I do not recommend starting Watson in any fantasy football leagues.
