CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

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).

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Minnesota Vikings

Roschon Johnson played a decent role last week, seeing 33% of the offensive snaps compared to Khalil Herbert who played on 43%. However Johnson only finished with six carries for 30 yards and surprisingly didn't get a single target. Johnson faces a tough Vikings defense this week, and will be a tough option to trust. He's not much more than a desperation flex play in Week 12.

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

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).

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Carolina Panthers

Roschon Johnson didn't do much last week as he rushed twice for six yards and caught one pass for nine yards. Third string back Darrynton Evans only played six snaps, but still finished with the same amount of total touches as Johnson. Johnson's role could get even more muddied this week as Khalil Herbert has a chance to return. It remains to be seen how the Bears will utilize Herbert, Johnson and D'Onta Foreman if all three are healthy. Even if Herbert doesn't play this week, Johnson hasn't been seeing enough volume to make him a trustworthy play in fantasy. He's not much more than a desperation RB3/flex in Week 10 against the Panthers (31st aFPA).

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at New Orleans Saints

Roschon Johnson made his return to the lineup last week and played an interesting role. He led the Bears running backs in playing time (36%), although he saw fewer carries (6) than D'Onta Foreman (9). Johnson also saw equal targets (4) and receptions (3) to Darrynton Evans. In total, Johnson finished with 31 scrimmage yards. Johnson will probably maintain a similar role moving forward with Khalil Herbert and likely Justin Fields sidelined. In Week 9, Johnson gets a fairly tough matchup against the Saints (13th aFPA). Johnson should be viewed as a low-end RB3/flex option this week.

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Los Angeles Chargers

Roschon Johnson has missed the past two games with a concussion, but he's logged full practices this week and is expected to return to the lineup. Johnson was seeing limited usage before his injury, but that's because he was battling with Khalil Herbert and in a way Justin Fields for touches. Both of those players are out this week, but Johnson still has competition in D'Onta Foreman, who is coming off of a 120-yard, three touchdown game. So even if Johnson is active, we're not so sure he's going to jump in and be the main guy now. In fact, we have Foreman projected much higher than Johnson this week. Johnson should be viewed as a low-end RB3/flex option against the Chargers (18th aFPA) this week.

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Roschon Johnson missed Week 6 as he wasn't cleared after sustaining a concussion in Week 5. Johnson didn't log a single practice session last week, so his status remains up in the air for his Week 7 matchup against the Raiders. He's expected to return simply because players typically only miss one game with a concussion, but every case is different so his health will be worth monitoring. If he does play, he gets a favorable matchup as the Raiders are 27th in aFPA to RBs. Plus, Khalil Herbert is out so Johnson doesn't have much competition behind him. And with Justin Fields also out, Chicago will likely lean heavily on their running backs instead of their undrafted rookie QB. Johnson should be viewed as a solid RB3/flex option assuming he plays.
