Kaleb Johnson vs. Bears — Rotational Work with Limited Fantasy Appeal

Johnson has carved out a rotational role in Green Bay's backfield following his trade from Pittsburgh, particularly with Josh Jacobs sidelined. Operating behind MarShawn Lloyd and with Chris Brooks nursing an ankle injury, Johnson displayed big-play burst last week on a 31-yard sprint, though a fumble at the 1-yard line hurt his standing.

Heading into a rivalry clash against Chicago at Lambeau Field, our projections expect Johnson to remain in a complementary role, projecting him for roughly 8 carries and 33 rushing yards. Given virtually nonexistent receiving volume and a sub-1% start rate, fantasy managers should leave him on the bench or waiver wire until a clearer path to volume opens up.
