BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers in need of running back help should consider picking up Roschon Johnson, especially in deeper leagues.
Despite splitting carries with D'Andre Swift, Johnson has proven he can be a valuable asset in the Chicago Bears' backfield. In his last game against the Rams, Johnson tallied seven carries for 26 yards and a touchdown, showcasing his ability to capitalize on goal-line opportunities.
His steady involvement in the offense indicates he’s more than just a backup, particularly in short-yardage and red-zone situations. The Bears coaching staff has also come out and stated that they need to get Johnson more involved in the offense.
2. Roschon Johnson only averaged 3.8 yards per carry, but his impact was felt in short-yardage situations.

Johnson's role in the Bears' run-heavy scheme gives him a decent weekly floor, even while splitting touches.
With his physical running style and nose for the end zone, Johnson can be a reliable option for fantasy managers looking for depth at the position or a potential low-end RB2 play with touchdown upside.
