Cleveland Browns running back D'Ernest Johnson burst onto the scene with a huge performance in Thursday's 17-14 win over the Denver Broncos, making him a must-add for fantasy owners who hadn't already done so.
In his first career start, Johnson rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. Browns running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt have calf injuries, and Hunt will miss at least two more weeks after being placed on injured reserve.
But it looks like Cleveland has a more than adequate replacement. Johnson's big night helped the Browns control the game with a 36 minutes, 51 seconds in time of possession.
