Who Should I Start? Roschon Johnson or Ray Davis

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.

After an encouraging rookie season in 2024, Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has seen his role in his team's offense decline significantly so far in 2025. Through nine games, Davis has logged just 24 carries for 44 yards. The 26-year-old logged seven offensive snaps in Buffalo's Week 10 loss to Miami and has played double-digit snaps in only three games this season. With Bills running backs James Cook and Ty Johnson both healthy and ready to go for the team's Week 11 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there's not much reason for fantasy managers to think Davis' role will be significantly different. Davis maintains some value as a handcuff option for Cook, but he's not worth starting in fantasy in Week 11.
