Re: Free Duke!
I just want him to get 15 carries and 15 targets a game, and a couple of the pass attempts in the red zone. Is that so much to ask?

No, no it isn't.
It's great to see Duke get to play. Let's hope that whomever is in charge of the Browns in 2019 sees the value in utilizing him.

Re: Free Duke!
Review the Canes tape.
Duke was a more productive rusher for Miami than Frank Gore, Willis McGahee, Clinton Portis, Edge James...
Been saying it for years, and I'll keep saying it, though I know it'll never be realized: Duke Johnson could be Brian Westbrook v2.

Re: Free Duke!
Interesting. I dont watch much college, but it looks like I'll spend some time on that. Either way he looks much better as a pass catcher than rusher to me. He is a great compliment to Chubb
Re: Free Duke!
I mean, he averaged 4.7 ypc on 42 rushes between the tackles last year. Duke won't push a pile, but he can do practically everything else.

Re: Free Duke!
Yep. If Lindsay can run between tackles, so can Duke.
Of course, Chubb is no slouch between the tackles. I wish Duke hadn’t signed that extension. I suppose if he hadn’t, Hyde would likely still be there.
Re: Free Duke!
As a Chubb owner I need Duke to stop vulturing so many receptions and tds that would make Chubb a top 6 RB. I WISH TO GOD someone would use a RB I own in the Gurley (He gets all the touches) role. Also throw the damn ball to Landry more than 3 yards downfield Baker, stop sucking please.

Re: Free Duke!
You have a guy with that much talent and no one that knows how to scheme to get him the ball in space/give him deeper routes, not his fault.

Re: Free Duke!
Landry has great hands, impeccable balance/body control, good agility, good short area burst, lousy deep route speed (by NFL WR standards).
I don't doubt his talent. Just his talent to go deep.

Re: Free Duke!
Duke should hope this light usage continues until his current deal is up. Then convert to WR officially and realize his highest NFL (and fantasy) value. Hell in a pinch he could double as an emergency RB (shades of TY Montgomery, Cordarrelle, etc) on ly with *actual* WR value too.
Re: Free Duke!
I’d argue his fantasy value is greater as being labeled a rb. There aren’t enough rbs to go around. WRs are easy enough to get.
