Sleeper: D’Ernest Johnson, RB, Cleveland Browns

We’re going with a deep sleeper at running back, with eyes on Cleveland Browns No. 3 back D’Ernest Johnson. With Chubb out for Cleveland’s matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, Johnson suddenly carries some intriguing upside.

When Chubb went down with a knee injury last season, Johnson went off with 95 yards on 13 carries against the Dallas Cowboys. It’s not outlandish to think he could have a similar outing this week against a Cardinals run defense that has struggled.

Arizona has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing backs. However, Arizona also ranks 31st in yards per carry allowed. If Cleveland sticks with the run—which is the team’s identity—Johnson should get his opportunities.

Rookie Demetric Felton could be part of the game plan, too, though it’s worth noting he has six catches and no carries on the season. Johnson is available in 99 percent of Yahoo and ESPN leagues.
