Little need in blowout loss Janovich played just seven snaps in Sunday's 38-7 loss to the Steelers.
Impact There was little need for a blocking back in Week 6, as the Browns were behind 24-0 by the second quarter. Exactly like Week 1's blowout loss to the Ravens, in which Janovich played nine snaps, the fullback was on the field just 12 percent of the time.

Minor role in win Janovich had two carries for four yards in Sunday's 32-23 win over the Colts.
Impact Cleveland's ground game was bottled up by the Colts, which served to limit Janovich's role in the Browns' fourth consecutive win. His 14 snaps were his second lowest of the year, behind only the opening-week blowout loss to the Ravens.

One catch in win Janovich caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 34-20 win over Washington in Week 3.
Impact Janovich caught his second pass of the season, but catching passes is not his primary role. Paving the way for Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt is why the Browns employ Janovich. The Browns average 5.1 yards per carry and rank tied for fourth with 170.3 yards per game.

More snaps Week 2 Janovich caught his lone target for zero yards and played 22 snaps (38 percent) in Thursday's 35-30 win over the Bengals in Week 2.
Impact Janovich had a greater role Week 2 than in Week 1 when he was limited to nine snaps in a blowout loss. The fullback's usage will be a barometer for Cleveland's offense this season. If he's getting significant playing time, the Browns' running game is operating at peak efficiency. The unit averaged 6.1 yards per carry and gained 215 yards Thursday. However, in games like Week 1's loss to the Ravens, Janovich will be limited.

Browns showcase offense's huge potential in bounce-back win
The Browns bounced back nicely in their second gameSEPTEMBER 18, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Low usage in Week 1 loss Janovich played just nine snaps (12 percent) in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens in Week 1.
Impact As can be inferred from the final score, the Browns were not able to run the offense as designed. The desired offense would have been a heavy dose of running where Janovich would be on the field as a lead blocker, but Cleveland was down multiple scores in the second quarter and played catchup all day.

Broncos once again lean on defense as offense builds rapport

Smooth sailing in recovery Janovich (elbow) said Tuesday that he's "feeling good" in his rehab process, Mitch Sherman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Janovich looks on track to kick off the 2020 campaign without issue after having suffered a season-ending dislocated elbow last November. In addition to blocking skills, the fullback showcased limited receiving utility over four years in Denver. He stands to mostly contribute as a facilitator of the run game in Cleveland, though the coaching staff could also see fit to put his aerial utility to occasional use.
