Should You Start or Sit Roschon Johnson in Week 17?
Johnson returned last week from a concussion and got one carry. The potential to vulture touchdowns is still in his profile, but there are at least a dozen options on your waiver wire that offer a better ceiling/floor combination.
Johnson’s impact in fantasy matchups is his potential drain on the value of D’Andre Swift. By himself, he offers no real value and shouldn’t be rostered anywhere at this point in the proceedings.
