Absolutely, the caveat here is that the screened player must attempt to stop upon contact. If he just runs through, it's a foul.
And for the record, if he knocks the screener to the floor, it had better be quite obvious that he attempted to stop, because I'm going to lean towards a foul unless his attempt to stop is very very obvious.
