Duke Johnson (RB, CLE) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~110

CURRENT ADP: ~125

ANALYSIS: After a promising rookie season was followed up by a disappointing sophomore season, the fantasy community has soured on Johnson. However there are reasons for optimism.

First, Johnson was still used heavily in the passing game last year catching 53 passes on 74 targets. Second, the Browns are an emerging offense and have talked about getting their running backs more involved. On top of his prowess in the passing game, Johnson is also a capable runner out of the backfield averaging 5.5 yards per carry in his short career.

Isaiah Crowell is the favorite to lead this backfield in carries, but if he struggles or gets injured Johnson will likely inherit a three down role. This is a player who can be a weekly RB3 with much higher upside going in the ninth round. That is value right there.
