Duke Johnson Listed As Week 7 Starter
6 years agoCleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson is listed as the starter for Week 7 against the Buccaneers, but a team spokesperson said rookie Nick Chubb could start over Johnson depending on the formation the offense uses to begin the game. It's merely a formality and doesn't mean much. Both Chubb and Johnson see their fantasy value increase significantly with Carlos Hyde now playing for the Jaguars. Chubb should dominate on early downs, while Johnson will be heavily involved in the passing attack in an excellent matchup. Chubb immediately becomes an RB2 option, while Johnson has much more intrigue as an RB3/flex in PPR formats.
