After posting career highs as a receiver in 2017 and scoring seven total TDs (more than doubling his trips to the end zone from his first two seasons combined) Johnson was expected to see a significant role in the Browns backfield again last year, but instead, his touches declined across the board. Part of the problem was Nick Chubb's emergence after being drafted in the second round in 2018, but the rookie wasn't even a big factor in the passing game. The main issue was simply that the team's Baker Mayfield-led offense didn't settle for checkdowns as often as it had in the past under less aggressive QBs, and as a result, Johnson saw career lows in targets, catches and receiving yards. His per-target production remained steady, however, and he actually posted a career-high 5.0 YPC on his infrequent rushing attempts. On another team, he might have gotten a look in a lead role by now, as Johnson complements his receiving skills with both power and elusiveness as a runner. But the Browns seem committed to Chubb as their lead runner, and they also brought in Kareem Hunt this offseason. A trade might be best for all parties, but until Hunt serves his eight-game suspension and seems ready to contribute, Johnson might be stuck in a diminished backup role once again. Read Past Outlooks
