Jonathan Taylor News
Saturday, October 3, 10:57 AM
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor gets a difficult matchup Sunday, but there is no real lineup decision to make here. Taylor has 258 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 66 carries through three games, and he has added nine catches for 67 yards. Houston held him to 68 yards on 23 carries last week, easily his quietest rushing day so far. Washington has been much tougher on the ground than most teams, allowing just 246 rushing yards through three games at 3.8 yards per carry. The Commanders also lead the league with a 25% run-stuff rate. That could make the efficiency ugly at times, but Taylor's volume keeps him insulated from a tougher matchup. He was a full participant Thursday and Friday and carries no game designation. RotoBaller has him at RB4 for Week 4. Taylor should stay locked into lineups for Sunday's London game.

Roschon Johnson News
Tuesday, September 15, 7:42 PM
Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson didn't touch the field on offense during the team's Week 1 shootout win against the Carolina Panthers. The Bears dropped 57 points on Sunday and gave 31 touches to their running backs, but Johnson was not one of them. Chicago exclusively used D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai out of the backfield in the win. This personnel decision proves that the Bears merely view Johnson as a depth piece to use in the event of an injury, and not someone who will carve out a standalone role week by week. This is discouraging, but not surprising. He had just two carries across seven games last year, and his fantasy stock has fallen every year since he entered the league in 2023. Even if Swift or Monangai got hurt, he would likely face an uphill battle to earn meaningful playing time. Johnson can be dropped in every fantasy football format.
