ANALYSIS: The Bears operated with a two-man backfield during their Week 3 matchup in Kansas City. That was the second consecutive game in which Roschon Johnson and Khalil Herbert were the only backs who registered snaps.
Khalil Herbert / Roschon Johnson
Snaps: 86 / 74
Carries: 23 / 17
Rushing yards: 93 / 90
Yards per attempt: 4.0 / 5.3
RYOE/attempt: -0.11 / 0.27
Routes run: 41 / 39
Targets: 8 / 11
Receiving yards: 65 / 56
PFF grade: 72.6 / 69.1— Dave Kluge (@DaveKluge) September 25, 2023
D'Onta Foreman has now been relegated to healthy scratch status during each of Chicago’s last two contests. This has cleared the path for Johnson to accumulate 45 snaps, 12 rushing attempts, and 70 yards on the ground. That includes his numbers versus the Chiefs, when Johnson carried eight times, assembled 38 yards, and averaged 4.8 yards per attempt.
Johnson has also run 38 routes and collected all four of his targets during that sequence. Those totals include his involvement in Week 3 (eight routes/two targets/two receptions). Johnson also possesses the collection of skills that are required to function as an every-down back.
That should sustain his involvement in the Bears’ backfield rotation while presenting the possibility that he will become Chicago’s lead back at some point during the season. That elevates Johnson among the most enticing options that remain available on your waiver wires.
