Roschon Johnson vs. New England — Rotational Work with Deep-League Upside
Fresh off a 13-carry performance with a rushing touchdown against Atlanta, Johnson continues to handle high-leverage rotational touches behind starter D'Andre Swift. With fellow committee back Kyle Monangai missing practice due to thumb and toe injuries, Johnson could be positioned for an expanded complementary workload on Thursday night against New England.
Our weekly projections expect around 6.5 rushing attempts for 25 yards along with a reception, totaling roughly 5 to 6 fantasy points in what projects to be a high-scoring home matchup. Given his 8% roster rate, fantasy managers should view him primarily as a touchdown-dependent bench option or deep-league flex.

Seth McGowan at Minnesota — Clear Backup Role Limits Fantasy Utility
McGowan continues to operate as the direct backup behind Jonathan Taylor in the Indianapolis backfield. Over his last two outings, he has handled nine rushing attempts and a single reception, confirming that his touches remain strictly limited to brief relief series rather than standalone high-leverage work.
Facing an undefeated Minnesota defense on the road in a hostile dome environment, the Colts likely need to lean heavily on their primary playmakers. We project McGowan for around 2.4 fantasy points on roughly four carries with minimal target involvement. Roster and start rates reflect his minimal role, keeping him firmly on fantasy benches this week.
