I have as asterisk next to Johnson, because frankly I'm not sure he'll be on the team by the time this article goes live on the site. He's demanded a trade multiple times this offseason, but things have yet to move on that front. An afterthought in the run game, Johnson continued to be a key cog in the short passing game with 49 receptions for 429 yards. Unfortunately, those final numbers amounted to career lows for the 5th year back. Two straight off-seasons the Browns have looked to the draft or free agency to fill their running back needs, and clearly view Johnson as nothing more than a change of pace back. And for as long as he remains on the roster, that's what he will be. I anticipate Johnson remaining on the team into training game as injury insurance, but likely being dealt sometime in late August before roster cut downs. He's undraftable if he stays on Cleveland and Chubb is healthy, but keep an eye out if he gets dealt. He's shown the ability to catch 60+ passes in a season, and that alone can return RB3 value.

Carlos Hyde traded to Texans
Chiefs get G Martinas Rankin in return
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Aug 31, 3:49 pm
|  | Another Texans’ trade: Houston is trading G Martinas Rankin to Kansas City for RB Carlos Hyde, per league source. Houston gets the RB help it needs. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Carlos Hyde has been pegged for over a week as a roster cut but instead the Chiefs are able to get something in return from Houston is seeking veteran experience at the running back position after Lamar Miller's ACL injury. Duke Johnson remains the RB to own in Houston, but Hyde is worth a late-round flier in redraft leagues.
|  Texans fear torn ACL for Lamar Miller
MRI to confirm but Miller expected to miss 2019 season
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Aug 24, 9:45 pm
|  | The Houston Texans fear starting running back Lamar Miller suffered a torn left ACL during Saturday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
He will undergo an MRI to confirm the tear. Miller is entering the last season of a four-year contract. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: The Texans are now thin at running back with Duke Johnson and UDFA Damarea Crockett and Taiwan Jones at the top of the depth chart. They'll likely bring in a free agent but Duke's fantasy value is on the rise.
