Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) practiced in full for the second straight day this week and is on his way towards clearing the league's concussion protocol and returning to action this Sunday in Week 16 against the division-rival Detroit Lions. Johnson has missed the team's last two games due to a concussion but is trending in the right direction to return this weekend. He still needs final clearance from an independent neurologist later this week, though, to get the final green light to play. Even if Johnson is active against the Lions on Sunday, he won't have any real standalone fantasy value with a lot on the line in leagues this weekend. He's been the clear backup behind D'Andre Swift on game days and hasn't been a reliable producer, although he has chipped in six rushing touchdowns. Perhaps if Chicago's offense was more reliable.

Buffalo Bills rookie running back should be viewed as a high-risk RB3 heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Davis has typically been deployed as a change-of-pace option in the Buffalo backfield behind James Cook. Last weekend, during their loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the Kentucky product did not log a carry and only saw 12 total offensive snaps. However, in Week 13, Davis ran the ball 11 times for 63 yards and a touchdown. Overall, since Week 8, Davis has averaged 4.8 rushing attempts per game but has produced well in this role, averaging 4.4 yards per carry. While Davis may see a few opportunities near the red zone, he is a high-risk option given his unstable role in the Buffalo offense. Facing a tough Detroit defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs does not make Davis' path much clearer as, well.
Still trying to decide between Johnson and Davis? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Roschon Johnson is projected to score 2.1 points this week while Ray Davis is projected to score 3.2 points.
