Roschon Johnson, healthy again, could operate as the short-yardage back and a change-of-pace option. His role provides a safety net for Chicago's ground game, with a potential uptick if the main backs stall or Chicago needs a reliable three-down option in short yardage.

Johnson returns as the lead inside runner, aiming for a red-zone presence and a meaningful rushing floor. The backfield could be more committee than a true bell-cow, but Johnson's power and pass-blocking value should drive a solid workload.

Johnson is limited by a foot injury and has practiced on a limited basis, affecting his upside for Chicago’s ground game. If healthy, he could provide early-down power and a short-yardage option, but injury status makes his week-to-week fantasy viability uncertain and volatile.

Johnson’s usage was limited in the opener, with the rookie Manu’s limited involvement, and the run game failed to establish rhythm. The backfield rotation drew scrutiny as Chicago sought balance. Johnson’s role and the direction of the rushing attack will be pivotal to stabilize the offense in Week 2.

Johnson is listed as limited but trending up; his workload could be pivotal if he’s limited or if Edwards’ status shifts. Fantasy managers should monitor backfield splits as Johnson’s health informs early-down and third-down usage.
