BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5
ANALYSIS: Other than the occasional touchdown, Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson hasn't had fantasy value. He rushed just three times for six yards last game against the Washington Commanders and averages just under three yards per carry on the season.

Fellow RB D'Andre Swift was brought in from the Detroit Lions to be the guy, and he is the guy. Swift has handled 23, 23, 18, and 21 touches in the Bears' past four games, and his workhorse usage isn't likely to change. He's regularly made explosive plays over that span, and is clearly much more talented than Johnson.
The second-year pro backup is little more than a handcuff for the starter right now, and it's hard to see him having any standalone value this season. He'd likely be handling more touches by now if the coaching staff thought he deserved them, but he's only been a goal-line option so far, and it's hard to see that changing.
Keep Johnson on your bench or as a free agent this week. Swift managers should consider picking him up in case of an injury.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
