Now that sure would be bad news for Duke owners.

Think he'd still be better off than he was with Chubb in Cleveland, but yes, nowhere near as nice as just having a bunch of nobodies around

Yes he's would still be in a better spot.

So, I'm curious; why has Duke Johnson never been given a real shot? Is he labeled as a 3rd down option and nothing more?

PUP should be an option, 'cause he's a hurtin' pup!

he played for a garbage team - i know some might think that means that he should've been able to get a chance, but the browns have been mis-managed/mis-coached for YEARS.

previous regime before dorsey had no clue what they were doing, and jimmy haslam, much like dallas, is a big part of the problem

Robby Anderson dealing with calf injury He's listed as day to day, but soft tissue injuries can be tricky. Anderson will be shut down from practice for the next week. The Jets are hoping Anderson will be full-go for Week 1.

Makes me like crowder even more

Duke Johnson in line for featured role? Houston's backfield has thinned out considerably following the sudden release of D'Onta Foreman and now a potentially season-ending injury to bell cow Lamar Miller. Johnson has never been a featured back—the Browns mostly employed him as a passing-down complement to Isaiah Crowell and later Nick Chubb. But Johnson, who has averaged a healthy 4.3 yards per carry for his career with 13 touchdowns in four NFL seasons (five rushing, eight receiving), should be up to the task. The Texans will assuredly bring in another running back for depth purposes, but there's no doubt Johnson will see an increased workload this year. He's the RB26 and 63rd overall in our latest PPR rankings.

half ppr in my latest draft, but now I like it even more that I got him as the RB29/67th overall, he should climb a little higher on draft boards the longer HOU doesn't sign competition for touches

How’s everyone feeling about James Conner now? Curious?

Also, Benny snell hype? Vision?

Still not buying him at his ADP, but the shorts and shells hype generated by the coaches sure didn't amount to much once pads came on

He many go with his adp
But in his ore seasons action if the ones were out there it was Conner. He didn’t come off the field

 

[Stomp]

Still wouldn't touch him any where near his current FP ADP Standard 8/PPR 13. Didn't Samuels get the same amount of looks(7) as Conner last week?

 

[Trudem]

Ive liked Conner all along to get the bulk of the touches however I bought the lotto ticket in Snell in dynasty but it wasnt until late second round so I didnt really spend anything to get him.

Snell has burst issues. Not sure if it is something he can learn to do better or not but he has a long way to go for sure.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Snell has burst issues.

this

just doesn't look like he has that gear to do anything more than what Alf Morris can do, only I doubt he gets the opportunities Alf has gotten in his career, as Snell has better talent ahead of him

with the back ups, yueah. WHen the first string has been, its been exclusively conner

that's how it went down in Nashville in wk3 - except when Conner took a nice hit, he ran off for a play or two and then was back out there.

If PIT was truly going to run Jaylen more, I think they would've tried to get him more snaps with the 1s in preseason.
I think we'll see both Conner and Jaylen on the field at the same time though, it PIT OC is smart, that should create mega headaches for any defense.

Won't be able to double up Juju or focus coverage on Creif/Washington if you have to worry about both backs.

fantasy has slowly turned me into a closeted Steelers fan.....gambling sure does strange things to folks!
