Duke Johnson, RB, Cleveland Browns

DraftKings Price: $4,900

There are some weeks when you can sort through reams of data for value plays, but only a handful of guys even merit a mention. This is a week to pay up at the running back position. If you are looking for relief or want to use a third back in the flex spot, then look towards the Cleveland Browns' Duke Johnson.

After a poor Week 1 in which he saw a paltry 2 catches for 20 yards, Johnson has quickly become DeShone Kizer's go-to target in the passing game. He has increased his targets and receptions in each week this season and has scored more than 20 fantasy points in back-to-back games.

Johnson faces a New York Jets team that is ranked 30th against running backs by our metrics. The Jets have allowed opposing backs to catch at least six passes in three of four games this season. Johnson's price is climbing, but his pass-catching ability gives him both a high floor and upside for your teams this week.
