Cincinnati Bengals running back Rudi Johnson (hamstring) missed practice Friday and is doubtful against the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend. Johnson has sat out two of Cincy's last three games.

Commentary: The Bengals were more than OK without Johnson last week, surprisingly, as Kenny Watson filled in and rushed for 130 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-31 win over the Jets.

In parts of four games this year, meanwhile, the normally stellar Johnson has struggled, averaging only 3.0 yards per carry (62 attempts, 185 yards, zero touchdowns).

Fantasy Football Impact: The Steelers are No. 3 in the NFL against the run, so it's probably fair to say Watson won't have nearly as much success this weekend. Still, if you don't have any other viable options, start him.
