D'Ernest Johnson a healthy scratch for Cleveland in Week 1

D'Ernest Johnson will be a healthy scratch for the Cleveland Browns in their Week 1 game against the Carolina Panthers.

What It Means:

In somewhat of a surprising move, the Browns did not activated Johnson for their Week 1 game against the Panthers. The team made sure to hang onto the talented back this offseason despite having both Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt under contract, and despite drafting Jerome Ford on Day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft. He could be a potential trade candidate for teams that need a running back.

Chubb should see the majority of the running back carries in Week 1, and is projected to score 14.4 fantasy points against the Panthers.
