Cleveland Browns: What players should you draft to your fantasy team?
By Tyler Hise
Moving on to running back
Ah yes, the elusive question of which one of the Cleveland Browns’ running back will produce the most fantasy points. In my opinion, the answer to this will have to most likely wait until the end of the preseason and maybe even into the regular season.
If you have a PPR league, Duke Johnson Jr. may be the best way to go no matter what. With the way he can catch balls out of the backfield or even line up as a slot, Johnson gives you more opportunities for points.
However, in a standard scoring league, the debate begins between Browns’ newcomer Carlos Hyde, or rookie second-round pick Nick Chubb. Both have the ability to be every down backs but also can be used to punch one in on the goal line.
As I said earlier, you may be better off to wait this one out. My advice is if you are going to draft them, make sure you have a backup plan in case they don’t get the touches you think they may get. Overall, I would put every Browns’ running back as a good flex or bye week option, however, there is a bit of risk there since there’s a collection of talent.
