What It Means:

It's not the most outlandish idea, as the Browns' coaching staff has already put second-year backs Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell on alert for not seizing the opportunity to start. The Browns spent a third-rounder on the electric Johnson, so we see no reason why they wouldn't put him to good use.

We still project Duke Johnson as the third running back in value from the Browns this season - and the overall RB74 - but that could change quickly if he's featured heavily in tonight's preseason tilt against the Buccaneers. As of now, Isaiah Crowell is a low-upside RB3 option.
