Johnson could flirt with strong flex value this week. Over the last two games, he has had a 39.7% snap rate, 31.6% rushing share, and 34.1% route share (11.8% target share), averaging 12.5 touches and 62.5 total yards with RB31 and RB15 finishes. However, he hasn't been impressive on a per-touch basis with only 1.82 yards after contact per attempt and a 14% missed tackle rate. New England has allowed the 11th-highest rushing success rate, sixth-most yards before contact per attempt, and 17th-highest missed tackle rate.

Bill Zimmerman identifies Roschon Johnson as the next man up to fill Kyle Monangai's role but expresses significant reservations. Johnson lacks the speed and shiftiness of Monangai, earning the nickname SlowJo from some fans. He averaged 1.2 yards per carry against Green Bay (6 yards on 5 attempts) and 3.9 yards per carry last week (51 yards on 13 carries), both below the 4.0 threshold. While Johnson is a solid blocker with good hands and special teams value, Zimmerman explicitly states he is not a player you want receiving 10-plus touches in a game.

Roschon Johnson would fill in for the injured Kyle Monangai, but he lacks the speed and shiftiness of Monangai. Johnson has struggled with efficiency, posting just 6 yards on 5 attempts against Green Bay and 51 yards on 13 carries last week (3.9 YPC), keeping him below the 4.0 yards-per-carry threshold. While Johnson is a nice blocker with good hands and special teams value, he is not a player you want having 10-plus touches in a game, limiting his fantasy upside as a fill-in starter.
