Analysis: Ogbonnaya won't enter your fantasy radar unless several injuries befall the Browns' stable of running backs. At the moment, Trent Richardson, Montario Hardesty and Brandon Jackson would be in line to earn carries ahead of Ogbonnaya. If Ogbonnaya is thrust onto the field, however, he proved last season that he is more than capable of putting up yards. He rushed for 340 yards on 76 carries last season--an average of 4.6 yards per carry--between his time with Houston and Cleveland. There's value if he ever sees the field. Unfortunately, Ogbonnaya is likely on the roster bubble with Richardson healthy and cuts looming.
