Duke Johnson seen as a 'playmaker' in Browns' offense
Cleveland Browns run game coordinator Kirby Wilson said the team wants to keep running back Duke Johnson on the field "as much as possible because we believe so strongly in him as a playmaker."
What It Means:
Before last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Johnson had logged at least 10 touches in four straight games and was coming off a season-high 59.3-percent snap share in Week 10. However, after seeing just 6 touches in Week 11, it sounds like the Browns want to make more of an effort to get Johnson the ball on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
numberFire's models project Johnson to rush 4.4 times for 19.4 yards and catch 4.8 passes for 36.8 yards while totaling 0.22 touchdowns and scoring 9.1 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,500 in Week 12.
