Outlook Roschon Johnson
Roschon Johnson at Green Bay — Elevated Role in NFC North Clash
With Kyle Monangai ruled out due to injury, Roschon Johnson steps up as the primary complement behind D'Andre Swift for Chicago's road matchup against the Packers. While Johnson has logged limited work so far this season, tallying four carries for 16 yards in his lone active appearance, the opening in the backfield hierarchy expands his weekly touch floor.
Our weekly projections slate him for roughly seven carries for 28 rushing yards and a catch, landing at about 5.9 fantasy points. Given his low roster rate and backup duties behind Swift, Johnson is best reserved as a deep-league stash or emergency flex play rather than a trusted starting option this week.

Ashton Jeanty at New England — True Game-Time Decision Clouding RB1 Upside
Jeanty is a true game-time decision for Sunday's matchup in New England after battling an ankle issue and a plantar fasciitis flare-up that kept him out of practice late in the week. His pregame workout at Gillette Stadium was notably brief, leading Las Vegas to elevate depth back Roman Hemby. Fantasy managers must check back right before kickoff to verify his active status.
If cleared to suit up as the lead runner ahead of Mike Washington Jr., our weekly projection has Jeanty pegged for roughly 15 carries, 56 rushing yards, and nearly 4 receptions (14.9 fantasy points). While his extensive red-zone role keeps his ceiling high, the risk of a mid-game setback or shared workload makes him a volatile option.
