Duke Johnson-Cleveland Browns

Another running who could work into fantasy relevance at some point is the Browns Duke Johnson. Johnson showed plenty of potential at Miami, and he could be a big part of the Browns future backfield after they snagged him early in the third round just four picks after Tevin Coleman.

At this point, though, this is not the right Johnson to draft (more on DAVID Johnson in a minute). Duke Johnson has gone down early in preseason with a hamstring injury which is expected to keep him on the sidelines for a few weeks. Before his hammy issues, he was running with the Browns’ third-team offense behind Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West.

While Johnson is a name to keep an eye on especially if Crowell or West go down with an injury, at this point he is safely left underrated in all but the deepest of fantasy formats.
