Who Should I Start? Roschon Johnson or RJ Harvey

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.

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey is set to be the lead back for the foreseeable future. Fellow back J.K. Dobbins (foot) was placed on the injured reserve earlier this week. That means, Harvey figures to be the lead back for at least the next four games. Fantasy managers can finally unleash Harvey after watching him be stuck in a committee for the first 10 games of the season. Given the Broncos lack of viable options, Harvey figures to have a significant role during the Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Fantasy managers should be able to plug him in as a RB2 this weekend.
