3 years agoCleveland Browns running back Demetric Felton could be in line for an expanded role in Week 7's Thursday Night Football matchup against the Denver Broncos. Both Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (calf) will not play against Denver, leaving D'Ernest Johnson and Felton as the next men up in the Cleveland backfield. Johnson is expected to get the start but the rookie Felton could mix in more than usual, especially as a change-of-pace back and on passing downs. The rookie has yet to take a carry in his NFL career but he has 90 yards and a touchdown on eight receptions through six games while also chipping in as a returner on special teams. Felton is extremely explosive and has some boom potential in a depleted Cleveland offense this week, putting him on the fantasy radar as a flex option against Denver.--Matt T - RotoBaller
