Isaiah Crowell still expected to start for Cleveland

Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell is still the favorite to win the starting role this season, according to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon-Journal.

What It Means:

He will be competing for the job with sophomore back Duke Johnson, but the incumbent starter Crowell looks to be in line to start for now.

Crowell was much more effective than Johnson in 2015, with -0.06 Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per carry and 0.63 Reception NEP per target compared to -0.09 per carry and 0.34 per target from Johnson.
