Roschon Johnson Role Unclear For Week 16
11 months agoChicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson emerged as the primary backfield contributor in Week 15, registering nine total touches for 60 yards. The Bears' offense struggled to find consistency against the formidable Browns defense, but the rookie showcased the most success in this contest. While Johnson has assumed a larger role in two of the last three weeks, leading the backfield, he only carried the ball once for six yards in Week 14. With D'Onta Foreman and Khalil Herbert healthy, the Bears typically employ a committee approach, relying on the hot hand. Encouragingly for Johnson, he is likely to handle the majority of receiving duties, resulting in favorable PPR outputs. Facing the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16, who allow the most points per game to running backs this season, Johnson, with eight or more touches, could deliver a solid performance in this favorable matchup.
