Roschon Johnson Capitalizes On Short-Yardage Role In Week 12 Loss
2 mins agoOn Sunday, Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson made an impact in the team's Week 12 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. While his offensive snaps were limited, Johnson made the most of his opportunities, rushing twice for 2 yards and a touchdown. As the Bears' primary short-yardage and goal-line back, Johnson converted a crucial touch near the end zone into a score. He also caught one pass for 10 yards, adding a small but solid contribution to the passing game. Johnson's fantasy value remains largely touchdown-dependent, especially as long as D'Andre Swift remains healthy and continues to dominate the backfield. If Johnson can maintain his role in the red zone, he'll continue to be a viable fantasy option—albeit with a boom-or-bust profile. With a quick turnaround, the Bears will face the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday.
