Johnson had a minimal role after getting 40% of snaps and 15 touches the week before; took 14% of snaps and 2 of 28 RB opportunities (6 carries for 13 yards); lost a fumble last week and continued to get carries afterward but saw dramatic snap share reduction.PositiveUsageOct 22, 2026
Johnson got into the end zone in Week 6 with Kyle Monangai sidelined, providing a secondary rushing option in the Bears backfield.PositiveValueOct 22, 2026
Roschon Johnson is recommended as a streaming option for medium-depth leagues (under 35 percent rostered) in Week 7 versus New England, assuming Monangai is out, suggesting he has value as a start if the injury condition is met.PositiveRoleOct 21, 2026
Johnson has filled in well for injured Kyle Monangai with strong Week 6 performance: 12 carries for 51 yards and a touchdown plus two catches for 34 yards. He had a chance to score another TD but slid down to keep the clock running. The source states he should be rostered.PositiveSleeperOct 20, 2026
Bears RB is a sub-10 percent rostered handcuff (5% on Yahoo) to stash on the fantasy bench; fantasy managers seeking something close to immediate help should hone in on Johnson for the near term.PositiveRoleOct 20, 2026
Racked up 15 opportunities on a 40 percent snap rate as the second banana to D'Andre Swift in Week 6; Bears' 28-7 fourth-quarter lead helped that volume, but offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is clearly comfortable elevating Roschon into something close to the typical Kyle Monangai role.PositiveSleeperOct 20, 2026
Bears RB listed as sub-10% rostered (5% on Yahoo) low-rostered handcuff to stash. Source notes fantasy managers seeking immediate help should hone in on Johnson for the near term.PositiveUsageOct 20, 2026
Racked up 15 opportunities on a 40 percent snap rate as the second banana to D'Andre Swift in Week 6; ranked RB27 with evidence that Ben Johnson is comfortable elevating Roschon into something close to the typical Kyle Monangai role, though the Bears' 28-7 fourth-quarter lead certainly helped that volume materialize.PositiveRoleOct 19, 2026
Roschon Johnson took 77% of snaps and eight of 10 RB opportunities in the fourth quarter, including all five carries when the Bears were up eight points late. Despite losing a fumble midway through, Johnson got the ice-the-game carries, which the source frames as a vote of confidence in his role.NegativeUsageOct 19, 2026
Johnson took 40% of snaps and handled a 27% route share, with 13 carries and 2 receiving targets (21 of 41 RB opportunities, 51%). He gained 51 yards on the ground and 34 receiving yards.NegativeProjectionOct 19, 2026
Johnson was tackled at the 1-yard line in Week 6 and slid down on purpose to help the team, forgoing a potential TD opportunity.PositiveMatchupOct 19, 2026
D'Andre Swift is clearly limping through a lower-body injury and Kyle Monangai could potentially miss his third consecutive game due to dueling injuries. The Patriots likely will pass all over the Chicago defense this week, meaning Johnson might scrounge up 10-plus PPR points even ceding the majority of snaps to Swift.PositiveRoleOct 16, 2026
Roschon Johnson is listed as a potential workload beneficiary from injuries in the Eagles backfield, positioning him for increased carries and touches.PositiveMatchupOct 15, 2026
Roschon Johnson is listed as a streaming pick for deep leagues (under 10 percent rostered) with a matchup at Atlanta, contingent on Kyle Monangai (foot) being out.PositiveSleeperOct 13, 2026
Bears RB with 5% Yahoo and 3% ESPN rostership; identified as one of the best flex-in-a-pinch options among sub-10% rostered handcuffs as long as Kyle Monangai remains injured.NegativeRoleOct 13, 2026
Johnson is not a real threat to D'Andre Swift's role; Swift's low touches last week were more due to rough game script than Johnson being a competition concern.PositiveSleeperOct 13, 2026
Bears RB with sub-10% rostership (5% Yahoo, 3% ESPN); identified as a top waiver-wire handcuff stash with flex upside as long as Kyle Monangai remains injured.PositiveUsageOct 13, 2026
Johnson was heavily involved as a receiver this week with five catches after Kyle Monangai was hurt, demonstrating increased involvement in the Bears offense.NegativeUsageOct 12, 2026
Johnson got six of his seven targets on the final two drives, which accounted for more than half of his pass snaps; he had five carries for six yards and seven targets for 17 yards on the game.PositiveRoleOct 9, 2026
Listed as potential workload beneficiary from running back injuries; likely to see increased carries and touches in Week 5.PositiveProjectionOct 8, 2026
In the source's game prediction, Johnson is projected to add a rushing touchdown against Green Bay.PositiveMatchupOct 8, 2026
Johnson faces Green Bay, which ranks 31st in rushing DVOA, 28th in rushing yards per game allowed, and tied-29th in rushing TDs allowed; the source gives a slight lean to Johnson and D'Andre Swift in this matchup.NegativeRoleOct 8, 2026
Johnson may have to step up with D'Andre Swift nursing multiple injuries and Kyle Monangai ruled out; he carries a career 3.8 YPC average, suggesting limited efficiency if called upon.PositiveRoleOct 7, 2026
Johnson played very well in Sunday's loss and took on a larger role when DJ Moore was injured. He finished with six catches for 116 yards and a TD in that game and also had six catches in Week 2. Johnson can be a near-impact fill-in starter if Moore misses time.NegativeRoleOct 5, 2026
D'Andre Swift (hip) and Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) didn't practice Wednesday; it's unclear if either is at risk of missing time, but even if one were out, Johnson would be primed for a significant role against Green Bay's injury-shredded defense. The source calls this arguably one of the bigger mid-week additions identifiable through the first four weeks, though Johnson could be a cut candidate come Friday if both backs are cleared.PositiveRoleSep 8, 2026
Johnson should be monitored for the Kyle Monangai injury timeline with the Bears; he could be one play away from being relevant in one of the league's top offenses.PositiveRoleAug 24, 2026
Bears RB continued to work as the clear No. 3 RB in preseason Week 2 with both D'Andre Swift (rest) and Kyle Monangai (knee) sidelined.PositiveUsageAug 24, 2026
Johnson played every snap on the opening drive in the absence of both D'Andre Swift (rest) and Kyle Monangai (knee), taking 12 carries for 42 yards. This looks like an ongoing battle for the RB3 job, though both Johnson and Salvon Ahmed could stick around in some capacity with Monangai uncertain for Week 1.NegativeRoleAug 17, 2026
Johnson dominated snaps (84%) during the game's first five drives but is an injury away from being an injury away from fantasy relevance with D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai locked into the backfield's top-two spots.NegativeRoleAug 17, 2026
Got the start and took all of the RB carries over the first 26 minutes before Salvon Ahmed came in; took eight carries for 34 yards. JJ Zachariason notes neither Johnson nor Ahmed inspires much confidence, though Ahmed made a stronger impression and may win the RB3 job.
