10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football week 3
2. Duke Johnson
Duke Johnson’s versatility is his finest asset. Is he a running back? Is he a receiver? He’s been lined up on the outside for most of this season so far (exclusively in Week 1), but made plays as a runner and receiver in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens who have one of the best defenses in football.
So far on the season, Johnson only has four carries for 21 yards, but has added five grabs for 79 including an outstanding one-handed grab last week.
Although the coaches stick with Isaiah Crowell as their main ball-carrier, they should have no excuse for keeping Johnson off the field if he keeps making plays like that.
The 2015 third round pick from Miami faces the Indianapolis Colts this weekend in a game the Browns will have a chance at winning. Rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer is slowly progressing, and as the Browns get better, so does the value of their fantasy football assets. Johnson is a sneaky play this week.
