Roschon Johnson Off Fantasy Radar For Week 17

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson should be avoided in all fantasy leagues ahead of Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks.

D'Andre Swift Looks To Bounce Back After Poor Showing

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift has not been a dependable fantasy option lately, struggling to rack up points as he deals with reduced volume, efficiency, and scoring opportunities.
