Roschon Johnson at Green Bay — Expanded Backfield Role in Rivalry Matchup

With Kyle Monangai ruled out due to toe and thumb injuries, Johnson moves into the primary backup role behind D'Andre Swift for Sunday's divisional tilt. After logging four carries and catching a target in his first action last week, the fourth-year running back should see an expanded rotational workload at Lambeau Field.

Our weekly projection pegs Johnson for approximately 7 carries, 29 rushing yards, and a catch, totaling around 6.1 fantasy points. While his roster rate sits at just 6%, Monangai's absence elevates Johnson into a viable deep-league play and priority bench stash capable of capitalizing on any goal-line opportunities.

Outlook Denzel Boston

Denzel Boston at NY Jets — Explosive Rookie Looks to Build on Hot Start

Boston has quickly taken over as Cleveland's primary outside weapon, leading all NFL rookies with 284 receiving yards and two scores through four contests. Operating as a featured starter alongside Jerry Jeudy and KC Concepcion Jr., his big-play ability is undeniable, averaging an electric 21.8 yards per catch.

Fantasy managers are catching on, driving his start rate up to 51%. While a low 39.5 projected game total at MetLife Stadium signals a potential defensive grind, our models project Boston for roughly seven targets and 60 yards, making him a high-upside WR3 or flex option.
