Who Should I Start? Christian McCaffrey or Roschon Johnson

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey handled 12 carries for 30 rushing yards and caught eight of his 10 targets for 66 receiving yards in Week 10. As has been the norm this season, McCaffrey's abilities as a receiver kept fantasy football managers happy. He has registered more yards through the air than on the ground in seven of ten games, and Week 10 was the sixth game of the season where he led the team in targets. The 96 scrimmage yards he ground out were his second-lowest total of the season and just the second time in 2025 that he failed to hit the century mark. He should fare better in Week 11 when the 49ers square off against the Arizona Cardinals, who just gave up 181 rushing yards and two touchdowns to Seattle's running backs in Week 10.

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson has been removed from the injury report and is set to make his 2025 debut in Week 2. Johnson returned to practice late last week after being sidelined with a foot injury since early August. The Bears struggled to establish the run in Week 1, with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams leading the team in rushing. D'Andre Swift operated as the clear workhorse, logging 81% of the snaps and handling 22 of Chicago's 23 running back touches. Johnson now enters a brutal matchup against the Detroit Lions, who allowed the second-fewest rushing yards to opposing backs in 2024. With uncertainty surrounding his health, role, and workload, Johnson is best left on fantasy benches for now.
