Browns running back Nick Chubb and Chargers all-purpose back Austin Ekeler were injured in Week 4 and forced fantasy owners of the two productive players to scramble for their immediate replacements in this week's waiver wire.

D'ERNEST JOHNSON, RB, Browns: The former Alliance of American Football standout was a revelation in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, rushing for 95 yards on just 13 carries. Johnson, who had 23% of the snap count in Week 4, could double that total as the Browns, who lead the NFL in rushing yardage, will continue pounding the ball with him and Kareem Hunt.
