Crowell is in a timeshare with Duke Johnson, and the Broncos defense ranks No. 5 in the league in rush yards allowed per game. The Browns might have a tough time running the ball in Week 6.
Fantasy impact: Crowell has seen 10+ carries in all five games so far this season. However, he only has one rushing touchdown and a game-high of 72 yards to show for his work in 2015.
Johnson continues to eat into Crowell’s workload. The rookie has a combined 21 receptions in his past three games. He looks like a more appealing flex option than Crowell for his receiving skills.
