BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Roschon Johnson has emerged as a solid waiver wire add, particularly for managers seeking a goal-line running back with touchdown potential.
Johnson has taken on a clear role near the end zone for the Bears, and last week, he capitalized with two carries for six yards and one touchdown.
Though his yardage was minimal, his frequent involvement in scoring situations makes him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. Johnson’s recent success around the goal line, scoring four touchdowns in the last four games, underlines his reliability in red-zone situations and the Bears’ confidence in using him to finish drives.

While Johnson is a touchdown-dependent option, he offers a stable floor as a strong RB4 for the rest of the season. His limited touches may cap his upside in terms of yardage, but he remains a viable play in deeper leagues where managers can leverage his scoring potential.
If the Bears continue to feature Johnson near the goal line, he could prove useful in matchups with favorable scoring opportunities.
Fantasy managers looking to add depth or needing a potential flex play with touchdown upside should prioritize Johnson as a waiver wire pickup.
