Roschon Johnson Has Unclear Role In Week 10

Roschon Johnson Has Unclear Role In Week 10

one year ago

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson has a very uncertain role in Week 10, as he played only 29% of the snaps in Week 9. The rookie running back has yet to exceed 45% of snaps in a game and was out carried by Foreman 20 to 2 in the team's 24-17 loss to the Saints in Week 9. This week presents a promising opportunity for a breakout, with the Panthers allowing the second-highest PPR points per game to running backs this season. If Johnson can secure 10-14 touches, he has a chance for a productive day. However, Khalil Herbert (ankle) has participated fully in practice for two sessions and might be activated from the IR for Week 10. Given the uncertainty surrounding Johnson's role going forward, it might be wise to bench him this week.
