3 years agoCleveland Browns running back D'Ernest Johnson stayed active in the game plan in Week 8 despite the return of Nick Chubb. Even with Chubb back in the fold, Johnson operated as the pass-catching back in the Cleveland offense, playing 30.5% of the snaps and seeing five touches. It appears that Cleveland will continue to pull Chubb off of the field in passing situations, putting Johnson on the map as a decent flex in PPR leagues moving forward. The Browns will face off against the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Week 9 and they could need to lean on Johnson in the passing attack if the Bengals' explosive offense is able to put pressure on Cleveland to keep up on the scoreboard. Treat Johnson as a solid flex option or RB3 in Week 9.--Matt T - RotoBaller
