3 years agoCleveland Browns running backs Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (calf) are both unlikely to play on Thursday night against the Denver Broncos. Considering the fact they are on a short week, it is no surprise the best running back duo in the league are being handled with caution, as the Browns will need them back to full health considering their offense primarily runs through the two of them. In their absence, D'Ernest Johnson and Demetric Felton should have a significant role in the run-heavy offensive scheme. Johnson should see the Chubb role as the early-down back, while Felton plays the Hunt role as the pass-catching and third-down back. If Chubb and Hunt are both ruled out, consider Johnson and Felton lower-end FLEX plays.--Tommy Adamopoulos - RotoBaller
