Isaiah Crowell-Cleveland Browns

Crowell will likely be the focus of the Browns offense this week since the team will be down to third-string QB Cody Kessler. Crowell had a huge game last week racking up 133 yards on 18 carries and getting into the end zone for the second straight week.

Although Duke Johnson Jr. rotates in periodically, Crowell looks to have the feature-back job on lockdown at this point. He doesn’t get very involved as a receiver but could get more work if Kessler checks down to him. The Browns will also be without rookie Corey Coleman who broke his hand in practice this week leaving Crowell as one of the team’s few playmaking options.

Crowell isn’t available in most season-long leagues, but he gets into our RB sleepers since he’s outside the top ten but has the upside to be a good value for the price in DFS games. Start him with confidence this week against the Dolphins who have been gouged by the Seahawks and Patriots on the ground. Look for Crowell to get at least around 20 carries and be one of the better RB Sleepers this week.
