That is a tough one. I think Johnson is the more reliable option. However, I think Ruud has the higher ceiling due to the Titans propensity to have an absurd amount of tackle opportunities. You won't go wrong with either option.

I currently have Mayo ranked third in my rankings behind Willis and Beason and I plan on keeping him there. The Patriots are running more 4-3 than in years past and Mayo is playing the weak side in that particular package. However, it's important to recognize that New England is running a 4-3 underfront which means Mayo is still playing in the most productive fantasy position as the WLB in an underfront acts similarly to a WLB in a Cover 2.
