The Chicago Bears will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Roschon Johnson.
Is Roschon Johnson Playing in Week 15?
Still in the concussion protocol, Roschon Johnson did not practice on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. He has been officially ruled out of Monday Night’s game.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bears’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Roschon Johnson’s Fantasy Outlook
The process of playing Johnson at any point is simple: touchdown chasing. Six of his 48 carries this season have resulted in a one-yard score, otherwise offering very little.
Johnson sat out last week with a concussion, and it’s fair to worry about his status as he was unable to practice in any capacity, even with the mini-bye. Generally speaking, I’m in favor of punting on a role like this and chasing a player with a higher touch/target projection.
All that said — he has been ruled out for Week 15, which means I’m moving up D’Andre Swift a few spots in my rankings.
