Welcome to Week 8! Unfortunately, along with this exciting week of fantasy football, we also have to deal with the dreaded injury watch. Players who appear on the Friday injury report and have limited practice time can cause anxiety for fantasy managers trying to make lineup decisions and waiver claims. But fear not, because FantasyPros is here to provide you with the latest news and updates on the questionable players heading into the weekend.
Roschon Johnson has been sidelined since Week 5 due to a concussion. However, he was able to practice the week before Chicago’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. So the question is, will Roschon Johnson play in Week 8? Let’s find out.
Roschon Johnson (concussion) off injury report
Bears RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) has no injury designation for Sunday’s game against the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson will make his return after missing the past few weeks with a concussion. Fantasy managers should expect that Johnson will split time with D’Onta Foreman, who has impressed over the last two weeks, in his return Sunday.
What the Experts Are Saying
Johnson has participated in full practices all week, indicating that he should be back on the field this week. In a game where the Bears are expected to be behind, Johnson is expected to lead the backfield in snaps. While his per-carry efficiency has been below average, it’s worth noting that he has had a small sample size of carries. The Chargers have a strong run defense, ranking among the best in limiting explosive runs, missed tackles per attempt, and yards before contact per attempt. However, they have struggled against receiving yards from running backs. Johnson can be considered as an RB3 with RB2 potential in PPR formats. His performance this week could resemble that of Rachaad White. Keep in mind that the Bears’ quarterback had a high check-down rate last week, which bodes well for Johnson’s involvement in the passing game. Positional Value for Week 8: RB3 with RB2 potential.
