Scouting report

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Roschon Johnson's role didn't change much last week despite D'Onta Foreman being inactive. Johnson ran nine times for 37 yards and caught three passes for 16 yards while playing on 46% of the offensive snaps. Johnson isn't a strong red zone presence with only two touchdowns on the year. And he's splitting touches with Khalil Herbert and D'Onta Foreman, and even Justin Fields to an extent. Johnson likely won't see enough touches to be relevant in a tough matchup vs. the Falcons (9th aFPA) this week. He's nothing more than a desperation flex play.

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Arizona Cardinals

After playing just 28% of the offensive snaps in Week 14, Roschon Johnson bounced back to lead all the Bears running backs in snap counts in Week 15 by playing on 49% of the snaps. He had a decent game, rushing five times for 36 yards while catching four of his six targets for 24 yards. Johnson at least has a role as among the three backs as a receiving threat, although he's finished with 0 targets in two of his last four games. Johnson also isn't much of a scoring threat with his last touchdown coming back in Week 1. Johnson gets a great matchup this week against the Cardinals (32nd aFPA), but the Bears' trio of running backs is a confusing headache. Johnson isn't much more than a desperation RB3/flex option for Week 16.

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Cleveland Browns

Roschon Johnson had just one touch last week, and played on 28% of the offensive snaps. It looks like D'Onta Foreman has taken over as the starter in Chicago's backfield. Until Johnson sees more playing time, he's best left benched in Week 15.

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Detroit Lions

Roschon Johnson suddenly became the Bears' lead back in their last game as he played on 74% of the offensive snaps. He also led the backfield in touches, rushing 10 times for 35 yards while catching five passes for 40 yards. Khalil Herbert only played on 21% of the snaps, and had eight touches. There's also D'Onta Foreman lurking. Foreman missed the Bears' last game, but had the bye last week to recover. It's tough to trust any of these Bears backs, especially with Justin Fields also being involved as a runner. Johnson at least has an edge as the third down/receiving back. He should be viewed as an RB3/flex option this week in an OK matchup vs. the Lions (11th aFPA).

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Minnesota Vikings

Roschon Johnson played a decent role last week, seeing 33% of the offensive snaps compared to Khalil Herbert who played on 43%. However Johnson only finished with six carries for 30 yards and surprisingly didn't get a single target. Johnson faces a tough Vikings defense this week, and will be a tough option to trust. He's not much more than a desperation flex play in Week 12.

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Detroit Lions

Roschon Johnson ran five times for 18 yards last week while catching four of his six targets for 14 yards. Johnson's role gets complicated this week though as Khalil Herbert and Justin Fields are expected back in the starting lineup. Johnson didn't do a whole lot with Herbert out, so it's hard to imagine he gets better now that he's back. Johnson isn't much more than a desperation flex play in a tough Week 11 matchup vs. the Lions (8th aFPA).

CHI RB Roschon Johnson - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Carolina Panthers

Roschon Johnson didn't do much last week as he rushed twice for six yards and caught one pass for nine yards. Third string back Darrynton Evans only played six snaps, but still finished with the same amount of total touches as Johnson. Johnson's role could get even more muddied this week as Khalil Herbert has a chance to return. It remains to be seen how the Bears will utilize Herbert, Johnson and D'Onta Foreman if all three are healthy. Even if Herbert doesn't play this week, Johnson hasn't been seeing enough volume to make him a trustworthy play in fantasy. He's not much more than a desperation RB3/flex in Week 10 against the Panthers (31st aFPA).
