RotoBaller Dynasty Ranking: RB70

Dynasty Analysis: Roschon Johnson was a hot name in fantasy drafts when he was drafted by the Bears in 2023. Instead, he has struggled to see the field due to injuries and the presence of D'Andre Swift.

From a production standpoint, Johnson was worse in his second season than as a rookie. He logged just 55 carries for 150 yards while catching 16 passes (on 20 targets) for 104 yards. However, he did carve out a role as a short-yardage back, scoring six touchdowns.

Chicago’s new head coach, Ben Johnson, has a preference for splitting his backfield. He also had Swift in his offense with Detroit and chose to trade him and upgrade to Jahmyr Gibbs. Could the third-year ball carrier out of Texas be the David Montgomery of the Bears' backfield?

Swift isn’t going anywhere in 2025, but Roschon Johnson should see a larger workload as Ben Johnson works to optimize the offense. As of now, his only notable competition for touches behind Swift is a 2025 seventh-round pick (Kyle Monangai) and Travis Homer. We like his chances to carve out a role, and his cheap acquisition cost in dynasty makes him a solid "throw-in" to another deal.

This could finally be the year that we see Johnson make an impact at the NFL level.
