CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Roschon Johnson ended up leaving Week 5 early after sustaining a concussion. As a result, he's been placed in the concussion protocol and is now questionable heading into Week 6. The Bears could use Johnson as Khalil Herbert and Travis Homer are both dealing with injuries themselves. Assuming Johnson is active, he'll be a strong play as he should easily see double digit touches as the lead back. He doesn't get a great matchup against the Vikings (12th aFPA), but the volume will likely be enough to make him a strong RB2 play. If Johnson is unable to go, though, then D'Onta Foreman will be the player you want.

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Washington Commanders

Roschon Johnson saw his role dramatically decrease in Week 4 as he played a season-low 22% of the offensive snaps. The Bears were leading for most of the game, which meant they relied more on Khalil Herbert to run on the ground. As a result, Johnson finished with just six offensive touches (five carries, one catch) for 15 total yards (his season low). Johnson draws a fairly tough matchup this week against the Commanders, and his fantasy managers will hope he sees the field more often. Johnson carries some risk as a low-end RB3/flex option for Week 5.

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Denver Broncos

Roschon Johnson and Khalil Herbert are in a pretty evenly split committee. Johnson saw 10 touches last week compared to nine for Herbert, and played just five fewer offensive snaps (28 to 23). Johnson finished with 38 yards on the ground last week while catching two passes for 11 yards. Neither back has been able to really have a breakout performance this season, but that could change this week. Johnson faces a Broncos defense that was absolutely gashed by Miami's running backs a week ago. We wouldn't expect Johnson to repeat what De'Vone Achane did last week, but the favorable matchup makes him a solid RB3/flex option in Week 4.

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Kansas City Chiefs

Roschon Johnson had a long 29-yard run last week and finished with 32 yards on four carries. He also caught two passes for 10 yards on two targets. He played 10 fewer offensive snaps than Khalil Herbert as both backs have a pretty decent role in this offense. Although neither one of them have been stellar. Johnson gets what should be a tough test this week against the Chiefs who have given up the 6th-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. Johnson is ranked similar to Herbert in PPR formats as an RB3/flex option this week.

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Roschon Johnson had a pretty strong debut as a rookie. He ran five times for 20 yards and a touchdown, but he also had a team-high (tied) seven targets, finishing with six catches for 35 yards. Johnson ended up leading the backfield in playing time as well as he saw 29 snaps compared to Khalil Herbert's 27 and D'Onta Foreman's 21. It should be noted, though, that five of Johnson's targets (and his TD) came on the final two drives of the game while the Bears were facing a large deficit. So Johnson's usage will likely revolve around the game script. In Week 2 he faces a tough Bucs defense that gave up the 8th-fewest fantasy points to running backs last season. Johnson should be viewed as a low-end RB3/flex option in Week 2.

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Green Bay Packers

Roschon Johnson was selected in the fourth round by the Bears, and should see some playing time as a rookie. But Khalil Herbert is the clear starter here, and D'Onta Foreman could be in the mix as well. Johnson could turn out to be a decent player in the future, but we'd avoid him in Week 1.
