In a non-ppr, I would play Lynch and Johnson.

I'd be tempted to bench Lynch here, but I'd probably bench Chris Johnson instead. I really like Santonio Holmes' matchup against the Browns. Chris Johnson seems likely to lose goalline carries, and since it isn't a PPR league, It makes more sense to go with the 3 solid WRs and Lynch IMO.

I've been trying to decide between Lynch & Johnson this week myself ... don't care for the JAX matchup that Lynch has, and can see Johnson getting lots of action vs hapless CIN both rush & recv, especially with Collins at QB.

 

Given the you have a 3rd option (using both RBs & sitting Holmes) I think I'd use that alternative, especially since no PPR in your scoring scheme ... so my vote is play both RBs, sit Holmes, and hope for scores from both Lynch & Johnson, even if Marshawn does not rack up the good yardage numbers this week.
