Los Angeles Rams vs San Francisco 49ers

Duke Johnson Jr./RB/Cleveland Browns:

Cleveland Browns v Indianapolis Colts
Chase Duke Johnson at your own risk

This 3 year NFL veteran out of Miami currently leads the Browns in targets(18), receptions(11) and rushing yards(160) at the end of week 3. He is coming off a great game versus the Colts where he ran for 23 yards on 2 attempts and caught 6 of his targets for 81 yards for 1 TD.

The time is ripe right now to have him on your team because of the really weak rushing performance by Isaiah Crowell, who has a disappointing average of 2.9 yards per carry in 3 games. Johnson is next in line for the job of starting back and if browns really have any intention of winning they need to get Crowell performing or give the ball to Johnson.

This week he faces a Bengals side which is giving up 4.1 yards per carry and 10.8 per reception. So, even if he does not get the starting job you can still get feast on the amount of receiving yards he's accumulating.
