The Cleveland Browns have been relying heavily on Isaiah Crowell as of late, but don’t expect him to do much versus Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11.
Fantasy football start/sit, Week 11: What to do with Browns RB Isaiah Crowell vs. Jaguars
Isaiah Crowell is one of the few bright spots in Cleveland, but don’t expect that to continue against a stout defense like Jacksonville.

Outside of some good games by pass-catching backs, Jacksonville has been stout against nearly every running back it’s faced, especially the one-dimensional backs.
That’s the book on Crowell, who does most of his damage between the tackles. With the passing game being a disaster, Crowell has gotten a lot of work recently, but even he gets 15-20 touches against Jacksonville, don’t expect him to do much with them.
The backs that tend to do the most damage versus Jacksonville are pass-catching backs, and Crowell has just 18 catches this season.
Fantasy Advice: Crowell is set to face a Jaguars defense that is allowing the eighth-fewest rushing yards to running backs this season. This is a game for Duke Johnson to be the featured back, so keep Crowell on the bench.
