Pierre Strong Jr. Sees Eight Touches In Preseason Opener

3 months ago

Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong Jr. racked up the yardage in his team's 23-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers in their preseason opener on Saturday. Strong carried the ball six times for 15 yards while adding two catches for 10 yards in the contest. He also made an impact in the return game as he took the Browns' first kick return 27 yards to set up a field-goal-scoring drive. Strong is stuck behind multiple running backs on the depth chart but he could carve out a decent role if Nick Chubb (knee) isn't ready to play in Week 1 or if Jerome Ford suffers an injury during the season. Strong could also hold some value in fantasy leagues that give points for yardage in the return game, especially with the new dynamic kickoff rules in place.
