Outlook Roschon Johnson
Roschon Johnson — Monitoring Chicago's Banged-Up Backfield
Johnson currently sits third in the Bears' running back rotation behind D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, but offensive coordinator Press Taylor noted he is trusted to shoulder a heavier load if needed. That endorsement is timely, as both Swift (abdomen) and Monangai (knee) are managing injuries heading into the game.
Despite the praise, our weekly projection anticipates a very quiet day with just 0.7 fantasy points on under one carry, reflecting his status as an emergency depth option. Rostered in just 3% of leagues and started in none, Johnson is strictly a bench stash or watchlist candidate whose standalone value is non-existent unless injuries force him into meaningful touches.

Outlook Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman Opens Season as High-Upside Stash in Crowded Denver Backfield
The rookie enters the regular season slotted behind veteran J.K. Dobbins and change-of-pace option RJ Harvey on Denver's depth chart. While Sean Payton has voiced high praise for his maturity and instincts, recent reports confirm Dobbins opens as the primary ball-carrier, leaving Coleman to carve out rotational snaps and short-yardage work.
Rostered in 43% of leagues but started in fewer than 1%, Coleman remains purely a bench stash to monitor rather than a lineup consideration. Our projections see a modest role with roughly 4 carries and 14 rushing yards (3.7 fantasy points), though any injury ahead of him would immediately elevate his fantasy profile.
