D'Ernest Johnson - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football
3 years agoCleveland Browns running back D'Ernest Johnson will take on the Las Vegas Raiders at home in Week 15. With the Week 14 ankle injury suffered by Kareem Hunt, Johnson will slide back into the No. 2 running back role behind Nick Chubb for the Saturday afternoon contest. While Chubb can be expected to see the majority of the touches, Cleveland will probably deploy a run-heavy offensive gameplan, partially due to the fact they are likely to start Nick Mullins at quarterback thanks to Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum both testing positive for COVID-19 this week. Johnson has shown fantasy upside in the past and can be used as a low-end flex option against a Raiders defense that is allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to running backs in 2021.
