Did we just see the emergence of our latest WaverWire superstar?

We'll talk about Thursday at football and week seven starting sit calls next on Fantasy Football

Today in five.

Welcome to Fantasy Football Today in Five.

0:15.4

I'm Chris Towers riding solo on this Friday morning episode of the podcast.

0:19.6

We're going to get to some of the tougher start

0:21.4

sit calls from week seven shortly. But first, let's recap Thursday night's game between the Broncos

0:26.1

and Browns with three big takeaways. And the Browns won 17 to 14. It was an ugly game, but it wasn't

0:31.7

actually quite as ugly as we might have thought, at least for one guy, because the first takeaway

0:36.0

from this game is, whoa, de Ernest Johnson, that dude had himself a heck of a game, 22 carries, 146 yards,

1:15.1

very least, you know, he was the top waiver wire priority this week if you needed a running

1:18.8

back. And what's interesting is what to do with him moving forward. You know, we know

1:23.0

Kareem Hunt's going to be out in week eight against the Steelers. Nick Chub may be back.

1:26.9

The Browns do have

1:27.8

some extra time off between that game and this one. And you have to think De Arnis Johnson's at least

1:33.1

earned himself something like a modified version of the Kareem Hunt role, where he's not exactly

1:38.7

a lead back, but maybe he gets himself 12 carries. Maybe he gets himself a couple of targets.
