Roschon Johnson Catches Four Passes In Win Over Panthers

one year ago

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson saw his most involvement in the passing game since Week 1, finishing with four catches on six targets but went for just 14 yards. On the ground, the rookie running back rushed five times for 18 yards. He logged 42% of the snaps, marking his second-highest participation rate of the season. With Khalil Herbert (ankle) out, D'Onta Foreman has taken over most of the rushing opportunities. Herbert was a full participant in practice all week and should have a good chance to return in Week 11 after a long layoff. Johnson's role becomes even more limited with Herbert back, as the Bears will likely try to keep Foreman involved in some way. Johnson looks to be at best the pass-catching option in the backfield, and he will need to continue to see around five targets in games to hold any value. The Bears take on the Lions in Week 11, who allow the second-fewest PPR points per game to running backs this year. Johnson remains just a stash until he gains a consistent role.
