Roschon Johnson

Week 16 vs. Arizona Cardinals

After playing just 28% of the offensive snaps in Week 14, Roschon Johnson bounced back to lead all the Bears running backs in snap counts in Week 15 by playing on 49% of the snaps. He had a decent game, rushing five times for 36 yards while catching four of his six targets for 24 yards. Johnson at least has a role as among the three backs as a receiving threat, although he's finished with 0 targets in two of his last four games. Johnson also isn't much of a scoring threat with his last touchdown coming back in Week 1. Johnson gets a great matchup this week against the Cardinals (32nd aFPA), but the Bears' trio of running backs is a confusing headache. Johnson isn't much more than a desperation RB3/flex option for Week 16.

Week 14 vs. Detroit Lions

Roschon Johnson suddenly became the Bears' lead back in their last game as he played on 74% of the offensive snaps. He also led the backfield in touches, rushing 10 times for 35 yards while catching five passes for 40 yards. Khalil Herbert only played on 21% of the snaps, and had eight touches. There's also D'Onta Foreman lurking. Foreman missed the Bears' last game, but had the bye last week to recover. It's tough to trust any of these Bears backs, especially with Justin Fields also being involved as a runner. Johnson at least has an edge as the third down/receiving back. He should be viewed as an RB3/flex option this week in an OK matchup vs. the Lions (11th aFPA).

Week 11 at Detroit Lions

Roschon Johnson ran five times for 18 yards last week while catching four of his six targets for 14 yards. Johnson's role gets complicated this week though as Khalil Herbert and Justin Fields are expected back in the starting lineup. Johnson didn't do a whole lot with Herbert out, so it's hard to imagine he gets better now that he's back. Johnson isn't much more than a desperation flex play in a tough Week 11 matchup vs. the Lions (8th aFPA).
