Pulled from The Sporting News...also saw this story on other sources

Larry Johnson - RB (rank: 2), Kansas City

Johnson told AP he doesn't believe he'll be ready for a full role during Week 1 against the Texans. "Obviously, coaches are going to do a great job trying to get me on track to where week two or week three of the season I can hit my full stride," he said. "I'm going to try pick up as fast as I can."
Fantasy Source spin: For the money he got, he ought to be ready. Fantasy owners would agree. Even a half-capacity LJ is worth a start against the Texans.
Next 3: @HOU (20th in run defense; 122.2 ypg), @CHI, MIN. Bye week: 8

Not sure what he means by not ready for a full role...

LJ will play. It's a ploy to get Houston off their game. If they don't know who to prepare for then it might give us an advantage. We need LJ to play.

Still Houston is an NFL team they better plan for everything anyway, if they dont they will be sorry,very sorry. LJ will play, he's been out and he's ready to get in there and bust some heads.Get em Brother.

It's a pretty transparent ploy to me. LJ just signed a contract for huge money....there is NO WAY he takes the first day of work off. I say he is gonna come in and light up the Houston D (prepeared or not)!! LJ knows that he now has to prove that he is worth the money and I hope he steps up and kicks some ***!!

Here Here!!!.......Kick some ***.

Chiefster, sorry I haven't had much time to actually sit down to hammer out some articles. I've steadily been getting busier at my store and of course, when running a business, work unfortunately doesn't stop when I'm not at the store.

I'm hoping that business continues to steadily grow to the point that I can hire some help. Until then, however, I've resigned myself to just staying active on the forums when I can because I don't feel I can give a weekly column the time or dedication it deserves. If I was to try to force it, my writing would just be a bunch of uninformed, opinionated trash. If people want that, they can just tune in to ESPN.
