BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: With as well as D'Onta Foreman has played over the past two weeks, the breakout potential for Johnson seems to have evaporated. With the production Foreman has provided, fantasy managers shouldn't expect a workhorse role for Johnson once he returns from his concussion, a possibility that seemed entirely possible once starter Khalil Herbert went on IR.
Still, fantasy managers have seen just how well Foreman has played and that has to be enticing. The Bears are in the midst of a lost season and Foreman is signed to just a one-year contract. Meanwhile, Johnson is a rookie and the organization may prefer to get Johnson some experience. That could lead to Johnson operating as the 1A to Foreman and maybe even Herbert once he returns.
Over the past two weeks, Foreman has 31 carries, 154 yards, and two touchdowns. He's also chipped in with six targets, four receptions, 33 receiving yards, and one touchdown. Backup Darrynton Evans has also handled 25 carries and four targets. That number is somewhat inflated by a blowout win this past weekend against the Raiders, a game script fantasy managers shouldn't expect from this Chicago team.
The production from Foreman might make it less appealing to add Johnson and on some level, that's true, but it also shows fantasy managers the upside Johnson possesses if the team prefers to give him the primary role to give some much-needed playing time.
