2023 Fantasy Outlook

A fourth-round pick in this year's draft, Johnson didn't play much behind Bijan Robinson at Texas but did well as a seldom-used backup RB and key special teamer. The rookie is probably a better fit for passing downs than veterans Khalil Herbert or D'Onta Foreman, which could offer an early path to snaps on offense. The 6-foot, 219-pound Johnson is probably the worst pure runner of the bunch, and offseason signing Travis Homer can at least match Johnson on passing downs (a task Homer handled in Seattle in between injuries). If nothing else, Johnson's special-teams acumen should allow him to stay on the roster and develop, which could lead to playing time if the veterans ahead of him don't stay healthy.

Light usage in season finale

RBChicago Bears

January 7, 2024

Johnson rushed five times for 20 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

ANALYSIS
As a rookie this season, Johnson never had more than 10 rushes in a game. However, he was often used as a passing-down back, though he had only two games with more than four receptions. In 15 games played, Johnson rushed 81 times for 352 yards and two touchdowns to go with 34 receptions on 40 targets for 209 receiving yards. During the offseason, the Bears will need to decide if the running back is ready to take on an expanded role or if he'll remain as a passing-down specialist. Johnson has three years remaining on his rookie contract.

Could have bigger Week 11 role

RBChicago Bears

November 17, 2023

Johnson, who's logged 21 total touches over the three games he's played since returning from a two-game absence due to a concussion, could be set for a larger role in Sunday's clash against the Lions due to D'Onta Foreman's potential absence due to an ankle injury.

ANALYSIS
Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. that Foreman practiced in limited fashion throughout the week after hurting the ankle in the Week 10 win over the Panthers. The Bears are set to welcome back Khalil Herbert from injured reserve versus Detroit, but if Foreman is forced to miss the contest, Johnson would have a chance to log a solid workload, especially if Herbert is eased back in from his shin and ankle injuries.
