Roschon Johnson Has Unclear Role In Week 15

Roschon Johnson Has Unclear Role In Week 15

11 months ago

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson saw just one touch in Week 14 for six yards, marking the fewest opportunities he's had in a game this season. The rookie running back appeared to earn a larger role in the absence of D'Onta Foreman in Week 12, accumulating 15 touches for 75 total yards. However, with Foreman's return, Johnson's role diminished, playing just 28% of the snaps. While he may retain value as a pass catcher, Foreman is the preferred rusher, and Johnson is unlikely to see many touches in the red zone. Without significant receiving volume or explosive plays, Johnson faces challenges in fantasy production. The Bears face the Browns in Week 15, who allow the 19th-most points per game to running backs. Until Johnson experiences a consistent uptick in usage, he doesn't warrant a spot in fantasy lineups.
