BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 54% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Roschon Johnson’s numbers were disappointing for anyone who had anticipated a surge in his workload during Chicago’s Week 4 matchup with Denver. However, it is premature to dismiss Johnson’s prospects of emerging as a roster asset during the season.
Johnson operates with an enticing blend of size and power while possessing the patience and vision to deliver favorable yardage totals. He is also a capable pass blocker, which should increase his chances of remaining on the field.
With shake-up, Bears also want to get running backs going. Rookie Roschon Johnson has impressed, and the expectation is he will gradually see an enhanced role.

Johnson was originally inserted into a crowded backfield that included Khalil Herbert and D’Onta Foreman. Now, Johnson’s path to relevance is no longer obstructed by Foreman, who has been affixed to the sideline as a healthy inactive during the Bears’ last three matchups.
Johnson had attained a 44% snap share in Weeks 2-3 before that percentage dropped to 21% in Week 4. He has now accumulated 22 rushing attempts and 103 rushing yards while running 38 routes and accruing 12 targets.
Herbert is operating as Chicago’s lead back. However, Johnson’s potential to secure a larger workload this season remains intact. He is still attainable in nearly 50% of all leagues and remains a viable roster stash.
