Outlook Roschon Johnson
Roschon Johnson at Atlanta — Passing-Down Work Could Expand in a Projected Shootout
Johnson is currently operating behind D'Andre Swift in Chicago's backfield, but rotational mate Kyle Monangai missed practice with thumb and toe injuries, potentially opening up additional snaps. While Johnson struggled between the tackles last week with just six yards on five carries, he has quietly hauled in six receptions across his last two games to secure passing-down work.
Our weekly projection expects Johnson to produce roughly 29 total yards and 2.6 catches (6.6 fantasy points) against Atlanta in a matchup with heavy shootout potential. Rostered in only 5% of leagues and started in under 2%, fantasy managers should keep him benched in standard formats, though he provides deep PPR appeal if Monangai is sidelined.

Outlook Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at Kansas City — Tough Road Test Awaits
Omarion Hampton continues to serve as the lead option in the Chargers' backfield ahead of Keaton Mitchell, and coach Mike McDaniel recently reiterated his faith in the young runner. Still, finding running room has been challenging with key offensive linemen like tackle Rashawn Slater sidelined, resulting in Hampton averaging just 3.4 yards per carry over his last two games.
With Los Angeles entering Arrowhead as eight-point road underdogs against an undefeated division rival, negative game script looms large. Fantasy managers have reacted accordingly, dropping his start rate under 60%. Our weekly projection pegs him for around 11 carries, 41 rushing yards, and 9.3 fantasy points, leaving him as a matchup-dependent flex play rather than a confident starter.
