BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Johnson’s availability has gradually increased since his statistical eruption in Week 7 (24 touches/168 total yards). That has created an enormous opportunity for fantasy managers who are searching for a starting option on this week’s waiver wire. Johnson operated as Cleveland’s workhorse back when the Browns hosted Denver, as Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt were unavailable with calf injuries. Chubb regained lead-back duties in Week 8, which fueled the gradual decline in Johnson’s rostership percentage.
However, Johnson could vault into RB1 responsibilities once again, after Chubb, Demetric Felton, and John Kelly all tested positive for COVID-19. Johnson has demonstrated the ability to run proficiently whenever he receives the opportunity and he remains capable of thriving with a sizable workload if Chubb is absent during Sunday’s matchup with New England.
Johnson attained a 32% snap share and generated 46 total yards in Weeks 8-9 while operating as Chubb’s backup, and his status as the Browns’ primary back would not be impacted by the availability of Felton or Kelly. Chubb’s status must be monitored, but the potential for Johnson to function with an extensive workload has launched him among this week's top priorities on the waiver wire.
