Duke Johnson breaks out

Oct 05, 2015

Duke Johnson led the team with nine catches for 85 yards. The receptions were the fifth-most by a Browns running back, and the most since 2002.

“That’s one of the reasons why I’m here, I bring a different element in the passing game, just helping him out when we get in trouble, just dink and dunk and be able to get yards,” Johnson said.

He added 31 yards on eight carries, a 3.9 average, to finish with 116 yards from scrimmage.

Fantasy Impact:

It's not really a surprise after we featured an article from a Browns beat writer that said the RB job is wide open. Perhaps Johnson put in his claim in Week 4. Isaiah Crowell continues to not be impressive for the Browns. Johnson was injured in camp and preseason and could have been a bit behind, but may be catching up sooner than later.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
