Kaleb Johnson vs. Bears — Expanded Opportunities in Shorthanded Packers Backfield
Johnson's role continues to evolve following his late-August arrival in Green Bay. With Josh Jacobs sidelined and Chris Brooks recently landing on injured reserve with an ankle injury, Johnson has stepped up into a direct rotation with MarShawn Lloyd. Despite losing a goal-line fumble last week, he flashed his upside with a season-long 31-yard run, keeping him firmly in the Packers' offensive plans.
Heading into this divisional clash with Chicago at Lambeau Field, our projections slate Johnson for around 9 carries and 35 rushing yards, generating 5.6 fantasy points. Started in just 1% of leagues, he remains a volatile deep-league play who must protect the football and punch in a score to return usable fantasy value.

Mike Gesicki at Miami — Surging Red-Zone Weapon in a Favorable Road Spot
Gesicki enters this week healthy and increasingly vital to Cincinnati's passing attack after catching six passes for 77 yards and two touchdowns across his last two contests. While listed behind Drew Sample on the depth chart, Gesicki operates as the primary pass-catching tight end, which has driven his roster rate up past 50% across fantasy leagues.
Facing a winless Miami squad as clear road favorites, Gesicki holds solid momentum in a revenge spot. Our models project roughly 3.3 receptions for 36 yards and 8.9 fantasy points. While Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins remain the top target earners, Gesicki’s red-zone involvement makes him a worthy streaming option in 12-team leagues.
