Duke Johnson Announces His Retirement

Sunday, May 5, 1:51 PM

Running back Duke Johnson announced his retirement from professional football on Sunday. Johnson was originally taken in the third round (77th overall) by the Cleveland Browns in the 2015 NFL draft out of Miami. He spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Browns before spending two years with the Houston Texans. Johnson played for the Miami Dolphins in 2021 and the Buffalo Bills in the final year of his career in 2022. The 30-year-old wraps up his career having recorded 2,265 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 532 carries, adding 311 catches on 405 targets for 2,870 yards and an additional 12 touchdowns in 97 games (21 starts) covering eight seasons. Johnson had a career-high 410 rushing yards on 83 attempts in his first year in Houston in 2019.

Can Josh Jacobs Move His Regular Season Rushing TD Streak to 11 Games?

Tuesday, September 16, 12:31 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been a beacon of consistency for the Packers, as he's been a touchdown-scoring machine since Week 10 of last season. Jacobs is currently on a 10-game streak in which he has scored a rushing touchdown in the regular season. Jacobs' efficiency has waned a little bit this season, as he's averaged just 3.6 yards per carry, but he has had at least 20 opportunities in both games, so we can hardly argue with the volume Jacobs is getting in the first two games of 2025. The Browns have been very stout against opposing rushers this season, holding Chase Brown to 2.0 YPC in Week 1 and holding Derrick Henry to just 23 yards on 11 carries in Week 2. Still, Jacobs is a locked-in RB1 for fantasy managers against Cleveland in Week 3.
