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.

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.
