3 years agoCleveland Browns running back D'Ernest Johnson is rumored to get the start in Week 7's Thursday Night Football game against the Denver Broncos with both Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt ruled out. Denver has been tough on opposing running backs this season, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position through the first six games. While Johnson is expected to get the start, it remains to be seen just how the Browns divide up the backfield touches between him and rookie Demetric Felton on Thursday night. The team also signed veteran running back John Kelly from the practice squad on Tuesday. Fantasy gamers who are rostering Johnson can treat him as a quality flex option for Week 7.--Matt T - RotoBaller
