The Facts: According to Plain Dealer staffer Mary Kay Cabot, Johnson belongs the Browns' wide receiver conversation, because he's more of a pass-catcher than a runner. Johnson is the leading candidate to replace Andrew Hawkins as the Browns' No. 1 slot receiver this season, and has a good chance to land the job.
Diehards Line:
Johnson has lined up and caught passes all over including out of the backfield and split wide. He’s averaged 57 catches in his first two seasons, and will probably have at least that many this season. The Browns’ third-round pick in 2017, Johnson ran the ball only 73 times last season, down from 104 as a rookie. He averaged a superb 4.9 yards per carry, but it remains to be seen if he’ll get more carries, especially with his anticipated new role this season. Still, fantasy owners in PPR leagues shouldn't overlook Johnson.
