The Cleveland Browns are expected to start running back Isaiah Crowell on Sunday against the Houston Texans. This news comes out of nowhere as the Browns continue to look to solve the puzzle known as their running game.

This report comes from reporter Tony Grossi, who was all over a story a couple weeks ago that Terrance West had usurped the lion's share of the carries from Ben Tate. That means we should put at least some stock into this report.
That said, who knows what Crowell is going to do with these touches? He’s been a letdown in November with just 3.4 yards per carry on his 12 attempts. Still, he’s been one of the more consistent backs for the Brownies and could turn in a huge day with 15-plus carries.
Fantasy impact: It’s a bad matchup against the Texans, so it’s hard to get too excited about Crowell here. Unless you’re in dire straits, it’s probably a better bet to just ignore this matchup. Crowell should be owned in all leagues just in case he blows up on Sunday.
