Outlook Roschon Johnson
Roschon Johnson vs. Patriots — Expanded Backfield Role Offers Deep-League Appeal
With Kyle Monangai ruled out with a thumb and toe injury, Roschon Johnson serves as the direct complementary back to D'Andre Swift. Johnson showcased his role last week against Atlanta, converting 13 carries for 51 yards and a touchdown while seeing third-down work despite a fourth-quarter fumble.
Fantasy managers have taken notice, pushing his roster rate up to 20%. In an anticipated high-scoring home contest against New England, our projections expect Johnson to log roughly six carries for 25 rushing yards alongside a couple of targets. While Swift limits his volume ceiling, Johnson is a viable deep-league play with goal-line upside.

Darren Waller vs Buccaneers: Touchdown-Dependent Outlook in Division Clash
Waller enters Week 7 operating as a secondary tight end in Carolina's passing attack, listed behind Tommy Tremble on the depth chart. After an explosive two-touchdown performance earlier this year, Waller's involvement has dwindled, culminating in zero catches on two targets last week. With starting quarterback Bryce Young practicing in full and ready to go, Waller remains a situational red-zone weapon rather than an every-down focal point.
His fading role is mirrored across fantasy leagues, where his roster rate has plummeted to 15% with start rates sitting at just 4%. Our weekly projections expect modest volume, forecasting roughly 2.5 receptions for 27 yards and 7 fantasy points. In a home matchup against Tampa Bay with a 44.5-point total, Waller is strictly a touchdown-or-bust streamer best kept on the bench in standard leagues.
