Roschon Johnson Cleared to Play in Week 2
Roschon Johnson (foot) practiced in full on Friday and is "good to go" for his team's Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions, per Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. Johnson missed Week 1 due to a foot injury, and in that game, D'Andre Swift was the only Bears running back to record a carry. Now that Johnson is back in the lineup, he'll battle Chicago rookie Kyle Monangai for RB2 duties behind Swift. Johnson rushed for just 150 yards on 55 carries in 2024, but he scored six rushing touchdowns and has proven to be effective in a short-yardage role. While Johnson is not fantasy-relevant himself, he threatens to vulture goal-line opportunities away from Swift, who profiles as a low-end RB2/high-end RB3 against Detroit.
