Two weeks removed from a breakout 95-yard game against the Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns running back D'Ernest Johnson is back in the waiver-wire mix. He's currently rostered in just 24 percent of Yahoo leagues and 18 percent of ESPN leagues.
After logging just four carries in Week 6, Johnson might not seem like a logical target, but his situation is more favorable than appears at first blush. With a banged-up Baker Mayfield, the Browns are likely to go run-heavy against the Cincinnati Bengals. This should lead to more opportunities for Johnson.
While the Bengals defense might not be as bad as Dallas', it is a liability against the run.
