BEREA, Ohio – Duke Johnson had a season high in receptions in Sunday’s loss to Kansas City, Nick Chubb a season high in carries.
It may have been game circumstance, but in Freddie Kitchens' first game as the Cleveland Browns' offensive coordinator, the two running backs were more involved, something that had not happened all season, for reasons not totally understood.
Chubb had 22 carries and Johnson nine receptions in the loss. The trend for Chubb has been consistent since Carlos Hyde was traded, but for Johnson to get nine receptions was significant to the Browns' offense and to fantasy leagues around the nation.
