The end of Chris Johnson's contract issues spells the end of any doubts fantasy owners should have of drafting the Titans running back at No. 2 overall. Chris Johnson had been No. 3 in the ESPN fantasy rankings, behind Adrian Peterson and Arian Foster, since May. He was moved down to No. 5 last week as the holdout continued. Arian Foster's hamstring issues have since moved the Texans back below Jamaal Charles, hence Chris Johnson now finds himself at No. 2 overall.

ESPN's Updated Top 10:

1. Adrian Peterson, RB, Vikings
2. Chris Johnson, RB, Titans
3. Jamaal Charles, RB, Chiefs
4. Arian Foster, RB, Texans
5. Ray Rice, RB, Ravens

7. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Packers
