Roschon Johnson News
Thursday, October 8, 8:17 AM
Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson could be worth keeping an eye on in deeper fantasy leagues after both D'Andre Swift (hip/knee) and Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) missed Wednesday's practice. Johnson has barely been involved this season, but he finally got his first offensive touches against the Jets in Week 4, rushing four times for 16 yards and catching his only target for seven yards. Monangai handled a career-high 30 carries for 146 yards and two touchdowns before leaving late with a thumb injury, while Swift finished with 15 attempts for 58 yards after losing a fumble in the third quarter. Head coach Ben Johnson has downplayed Monangai's thumb issue, so there is no indication yet that either back will miss Sunday's game against Green Bay. Roschon remains third on Chicago's depth chart and doesn't offer much standalone fantasy value. Still, with two backs ahead of him dealing with injuries, he is worth monitoring in deeper formats in case a larger opportunity opens up.

Jaylen Wright News
Thursday, October 8, 4:59 PM
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (foot) was added to the Week 5 injury report with a foot injury on Thursday and was listed as a limited participant in practice, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. It remains to be seen if Wright had a setback with a foot injury that caused him to miss the Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but we should have a better idea of his status for this weekend's contest at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Dolphins are already without starter De'Von Achane (knee) for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL, so if Wright cannot play this weekend, Ollie Gordon II should handle a hefty backfield role as the Dolphins look for their first win of the season. Although the 23-year-old Wright only has eight carries for 17 yards and no receptions through three games, he is a worthwhile fantasy handcuff who could eventually have a bigger role alongside Gordon if he can stay healthy. Wright is currently rostered in just under 20% of Yahoo leagues.
