Who Should I Start? Roschon Johnson or Cam Skattebo

Friday, September 12, 11:09 PM

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.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that "all went well" with rookie running back Cam Skattebo's ankle surgery on Monday, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. "He's recovering. Obviously, he'll be missed. On the road to recovery," Daboll said. Skattebo suffered a gruesome-looking dislocated right ankle in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and had to be carted off the field. While there is no official timetable for the 23-year-old Arizona State product's return, he will miss the rest of his rookie season. It's a very disappointing end to 2025 for the fourth-round pick, who ran for 410 yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries while adding 24 catches for 207 yards and two more scores in his first eight games in the NFL. With Skattebo done for the rest of the year, Tyrone Tracy Jr. will be New York's lead back, with Devin Singletary elevating into RB2 duties.
