Browns RB Duke Johnson (concussion, probable) took full practice reps again Friday and is probable for Week 1. The probable tag means he’s very likely in for Week 1. The Jets were pretty good against the run last year, but Ameer Abdullah made some plays against them in the preseason. We’re expecting Isaiah Crowell to lead the team in carries, but Johnson should have a significant role.

Browns RB Duke Johnson (concussion) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Johnson’s status has improved over the last couple of days. We expect him to play in Week 1. The Jets were pretty good against the run last year, but Ameer Abdullah made some plays against them in the preseason. Isaiah Crowell is likely to lead the backfield in touches, but Johnson could see a significant role.

Lions OC Joe Lombardi says Ameer Abdullah will be 'used extensively' in passing game

OC Joe Lombardi on Ameer Abdullah: He's going to get a chance to run the ball, and he's going to get a chance to be used extensively in the passing game.

Fantasy Impact:

This is not a big surprise, but it's great to hear the OC confirm our suspicions that Abdullah is likely to take over the Reggie Bush role in the offense.

Lions Beat: Ameer Abdullah already 'a better receiver' than Reggie Bush

Detroit Lions

Sep 10, 2015 · 11:45 AM EDT

Ameer Abdullah is a better receiver than the Lions thought he'd be, certainly a better receiver already than Reggie Bush was. The Lions will use him a lot in that role and that could dip into Theo Riddick's numbers some.

Fantasy Impact:

We project Abdullah for 51 catches. Bush averaged 3.76 catches in 25 games with the Lions, which works out to 60.1 over a full 16-game season. Both Riddick and Joique Bell are adept in the passing game, so look for the Lions to use their running backs early and often in 2015.
