Roschon Johnson Scores Sixth Touchdown of the Season in Week 12

Roschon Johnson, the 23-year-old running back for the Chicago Bears, continues to make significant contributions to his team despite the Bears’ recent losses. In Week 11, Johnson had a notable performance against the Green Bay Packers, carrying the ball 10 times for 33 yards and a touchdown, while also catching his lone target for an eight-yard gain in a 20-19 loss.

In Week 12, Johnson opened the scoring against the Minnesota Vikings with a 1-yard touchdown run, marking his sixth touchdown of the season. This performance highlights his ability to find the end zone, as he has now scored five touchdowns on just 46 carries this season.

Johnson’s role behind starter D'Andre Swift has not diminished his fantasy value, particularly as a top handcuff. However, his fantasy impact is somewhat limited by the Bears’ challenging schedule for running backs heading into the fantasy playoffs. For Week 12, Johnson is projected to have a modest outing, with projections indicating around 4.8 fantasy points.

Despite the Bears’ tough schedule, Johnson’s recent performances suggest he could be a valuable depth piece for fantasy teams, especially given his nose for the end zone. His upcoming matchups against the Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks will be crucial in determining his fantasy relevance for the remainder of the season.
