Roschon Johnson gained 13 yards on two carries in Thursday's 30-24 win over the Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
After totaling 85 yards and a touchdown on 15 touches in Week 6, Johnson almost disappeared from the box score in Week 7. Even with Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) still sidelined, Johnson wasn't given much of an opportunity behind starting RB D'Andre Swift, who had 26 touches on the night.
Roschon Johnson carried the ball 13 times for a team-high 51 yards and one touchdown while also catching both of his targets for 34 yards in the Bears' 31-23 Week 6 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson made the most of increased touches in the Chicago offense, finishing with over 40 offensive yards for the first time this season. The running back remains more of a handcuff option as part of a Chicago backfield led by D'Andre Swift and missing Kyle Monangai, with a Week 7 matchup against the New England Patriots up next.
Roschon Johnson rushed five times for six yards while also catching five of his seven targets for 34 yards in the Bears' 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 5.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson has seen increased involvement out of the Chicago backfield of late, recording five or more touches in each of the last two games. The running back remains difficult to trust when the Chicago backfield is fully healthy, with a Week 6 contest against the Atlanta Falcons up next.
Roschon Johnson (back) was limited at practice again on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson was able to practice for a second-straight day on Thursday. He remained limited due to a back issue, but he still seems to be trending the right way for Week 10. His return would mean slightly less work for rookie Kyle Monangai moving forward.
Roschon Johnson (back) was limited at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson has been sidelined for the past couple of weeks due to a back injury, but he was able to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday and seems to trending the right way for Sunday's game. Rookie Kyle Monangai will see a slight decrease in work if Johnson is back in the lineup this week.
