Kaleb Johnson vs. Bears — Rotational Role in Division Clash
Johnson flashed explosive burst last week with a 31-yard carry against Tampa Bay, though a goal-line fumble dampened his momentum. With Chris Brooks ruled out due to an ankle injury and Josh Jacobs still sidelined, Johnson should maintain secondary touches in Green Bay's backfield committee alongside MarShawn Lloyd.
Our models project Johnson for roughly 35 rushing yards on eight to nine carries with minimal pass-catching involvement. Roster rates sit near 8% with less than 1% starting, so fantasy managers should keep him on the bench in standard leagues while monitoring his role as a deep-league stash.

Dameon Pierce in London — Expanded Role Follows Key Backfield Injuries
Pierce was recently signed to Philadelphia's active roster after injuries sidelined both Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby. Head coach Nick Sirianni publicly praised Pierce's starting ability, setting him up to share touches alongside Will Shipley in London against Jacksonville.
Despite the promotion, Pierce remains a speculative deep-league play rather than a standard starter. He is rostered in just 5% of leagues, and our weekly projection expects around 7 carries for 26 rushing yards and a lone reception (about 5.2 fantasy points). With multiple starting offensive linemen also ruled out, Pierce is a touchdown-dependent option who should be rostered as an upside stash while this backfield sorts itself out.
