Bears RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. Johnson isn’t a viable fantasy option but figures to steal some passing-down and short-yardage snaps from RB D’Andre Swift.
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.
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Vikings. He only got in a limited practice on Saturday but said afterward that he expects to play against Minnesota. The late kickoff makes it a tricky situation for fantasy owners, though. RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) is out for Week 15, so Swift's absence would leave the backfield to RBs Travis Homer and Darrynton Evans. If you're considering those two for Swift insurance, we'd lean toward Homer.
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) did not practice on Thursday. It's a new injury for Swift, who missed the first two practices last week with a quad. RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) was also sidelined on Thursday. We'll see if these guys get back on the field tomorrow, ahead of Monday night's game vs. the Vikings. Desperate fantasy owners could stash RB Travis Homer, who'd be the lead back if Swift and Johnson miss the Monday nighter.
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (quad) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so he’s seemingly legitimately in question for this one. RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out, leaving Travis Homer as the top healthy RB on the roster. RBs Darrynton Evans and Demetric Felton are on the practice squad. Homer would be a RB3 or Flex-level play if Swift ends up missing this week.
Bears RBs D’Andre Swift (quad) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) remained out of practice on Thursday. If they’re both out come Sunday, the bulk of Chicago’s backfield work would likely shift to RB3 Travis Homer. He’s listed at 201 pounds and has totaled only three carries in 2024. Meanwhile, the Bears have change-of-pace options in Darrynton Evans and Demetric Felton. For now, Homer is just a speculative add in deep leagues.
Bears RBs D'Andre Swift (quad) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any details on Swift's injury. He seemed to make it out of the Thanksgiving loss okay. Johnson will need to get in at least a limited practice tomorrow to have a chance to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. Travis Homer and Demetric Felton are the other RBs on Chicago's active roster. RB Darrynton Evans is on the practice squad.
Bears RB Roschon Johnson sustained a concussion in Thursday's loss to the Lions. It's his second documented concussion. Johnson will have 10 days to clear protocol ahead of Week 14's meeting with the 49ers. His absence would boost RB D'Andre Swift's pass-catching and TD projections.
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Matt Eberflus said Swift is dealing with "just a little bit of a groin strain" and said he's "hopeful" Swift will be able to play vs. the Vikings this weekend. It sounds like there's at least some chance, though, that Swift won't be able to go. That'd presumably leave Roschon Johnson as Chicago's lead back. He should be rostered in all fantasy leagues of 10+ teams.
Bears RB D’Andre Swift rushed 17 times for 91 yards and 1 score in Sunday's blowout win over the Jags. He's now hit 100 total yards in three straight games.
Bears RB Roschon Johnson ran 10 times for 25 yards and two TDs in a solid performance. He is clearly back behind RB D’Andre Swift who ran 21 times for 73 yards and a TD along with two catches for 47 yards.
Bears RB D'Andre Swift rushed 16 times for 93 yards and 1 score in Sunday's win over the Rams. The breakout game included team-highs in targets (7), catches (7) and receiving yards (72).
"Watch for Bears running back Roschon Johnson to possibly get an extended look this week," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler wrote on Wednesday. It doesn't exactly read like a set-in-stone report, but Fowler wouldn't write it without having some sort of intel from the Bears. And it certainly makes sense considering RB D'Andre Swift has been the least effective runner in the NFL through three weeks. He's averaging 1.8 yards per carry and ranks dead last among 50 qualifying RBs in NFL Next Gen Stats' rush yards over expected per attempt. Swift posted season lows last week in snap rate (53%), carry share (46%), and route rate (50%) -- and it sounds like he's set to lose more work. Swift should be on fantasy benches for Week 4. You'd ideally wait to see Johnson's role expand before starting him, but he should be rostered in all fantasy leagues of 12+ teams and even most 10-teamers.
Bears RB Roschon Johnson is a healthy scratch for today's opener vs. the Titans. That leaves RBs D'Andre Swift, Khalil Herbert, and Travis Homer dressed for Chicago. We'll see what the workload split looks like under new OC Shane Waldron, but Swift is the only viable Week 1 fantasy play. We'd expect Johnson to work into the backfield mix if Swift or Herbert miss time this season, but he's droppable in shallow fantasy leagues.
The Bears have agreed to a three-year deal with RB D'Andre Swift, according to multiple reports. Chicago will pay Swift $24 million over that span, with $15.3 million of that guaranteed. That should position Swift as the backfield leader for at least the next two seasons -- assuming he stays healthy, of course. Swift opened his lone Philly season barely playing behind Kenneth Gainwell but then exploded when Gainwell missed Week 2. Swift worked as the lead back the rest of the way, averaging a career-high 41.3 carries per game but a career-low 2.4 receptions per contest. He should immediately step ahead of Bears incumbents Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson as both a runner and receiver. If the QB shift to Caleb Williams comes to fruition, then Swift would gain target upside over what Philly presented (or what Justin Fields would present). Swift has been a solid-to-good value in early best ball drafting. Expect his ADP to rise now that he has found starter money on the market. Swift's RB31 position in Underdog Fantasy to date gives him plenty of room to move up the board and still be worth targeting. Check our RB rankings to see where he lands.
Bears RB Khalil Herbert (back, personal) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Packers. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and then sidelined on Friday. Herbert’s absence would presumably leave Chicago’s backfield to Roschon Johnson and D’Onta Foreman, who has not played the past two weeks.
Bears RB D'Onta Foreman is a surprise inactive for today's game vs. the Falcons. He missed last week's game due to a personal issue but was left off the final injury report this week. Chicago will again roll with RBs Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson today. Herbert tallied 20 carries and two targets to Johnson's nine carries and three targets last week.
Bears RB D'Onta Foreman (personal) practiced all week and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. It’s entirely unclear how work will be divvied between Foreman, Khalil Herbert, and Roschon Johnson, making it a situation to try to avoid in Week 17 fantasy lineups.
