Fellow backup running back Travis Homer is listed as doubtful. Johnson was stealing goal line work from D'Andre Swift before suffering a concussion that sidelined him for two weeks. He should reclaim that role in Week 16 while also seeing some work on passing downs, putting him on the RB3/4 border. His return puts Swift at risk of falling out for the RB2 ranks versus Minnesota.
Bears RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Lions and siphon some passing-down and short-yardage work from RB D'Andre Swift.
Wednesday's practice was only a walkthrough, so we'll learn more when the team hosts their first full practice later this week. Still, a full estimation on the opening report suggests Johnson will clear concussion protocol by the end of the week. Johnson was stealing work from D'Andre Swift on passing downs and at the goal line before suffering the concussion. His return will push Swift deep into the RB3 ranks for his Week 16 matchup with Detroit.
Isaac Guerendo, D'Andre Swift and Rachaad White can help managers get to the fantasy championship.
Swift (groin) rushed 19 times for 79 yards while bringing in his lone target for 10 receiving yards in Monday's 30-12 loss to Minnesota.
