Browns say Duke Johnson not 'strictly' a wide receiver
Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson isn't "strictly" a wide receiver now and his Week 1 usage was game-plan specific, head coach Hue Jackson insisted on Monday.
What It Means:
Johnson played exclusively in the slot against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1, but Jackson claims that won't be the norm throughout the season. The third-year offensive weapon finished with 2-of-5 catches for 20 yards on Sunday, and even if he sees work out of the backfield, Johnson makes for a much better fantasy asset in PPR formats.
Johnson finished with 3.0 FanDuel (FD) points in Week 1, less than half of numberFire's projection (7.1). He comes at a cost of $5,600 in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.
