Roschon Johnson Week 5 Outlook - Panthers at Bears

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 3rd 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Last week's "extended look" at Roschon Johnson looked eerily similar to Week 3. Johnson didn't see an expanded role in the offense, as he had the exact same snap rate (37%) while handling seven touches and producing 26 rushing yards. Swift took back the red zone snap lead, too (54.5% vs. 45.5%). We found out last year that this coaching staff can't be trusted with running back usage and reporting. Well, it remains early in the 2024 season, but once again, we have been "Eberflused." Johnson rolls back into the desperation flex play or RB3 area code. Carolina has allowed the tenth-highest yards after contact per attempt and the fourth-most rushing yards per game.
