2026 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson, a 2023 fourth-round pick, showed some promise while totaling an 81-352-2 rushing line across 15 games as a rookie, but he was then relegated to a short-yardage role in 2024 before dropping further down the depth chart behind D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai in 2025. Last year, Johnson logged only four snaps on offense (two carries for 17 yards) across seven regular-season appearances. He’s set to reprise a similar gig under head coach Ben Johnson in 2026, though that could change if rookie third-round WR Zavion Thomas ends up being utilized out of the backfield. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a four-year, $4.61 million contract with the Bears in May of 2023.Johnson rushed four times for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-12 win over the Jets. He added one catch for seven yards on one target.
ANALYSIS
The Bears thoroughly dominated the Jets in time of possession and ran a whopping 93 offensive plays to New York's 34. Johnson saw 10 snaps on offense, as Kyle Monangai (toe) and D'Andre Swift, who dealt with a knee injury during the practice week, combined to rush 45 times for 204 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson would be in line for additional work if Monangai needs to miss any game action.

2023
After utilizing him in an all-around role as a rookie fourth-round pick in 2023 the Bears for some reason reduced Johnson to something of a short-yardage specialist in 2024, with a disproportionate percentage of his meager carry count occurring near the goal line. Six of Johnson's 81 rookie-year carries occurred within the five-yard line, while in 2024 it was nine of Johnson's 55 carries that occurred within the five. Johnson (6-0, 219) is definitely the most powerful of the running backs on the Bears roster – a group otherwise headlined by D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai and Travis Homer for the time being – and if new coach Ben Johnson wants to identify someone for the David Montgomery functions in the offense then it would be Johnson who's clearly best built for grinder functions. The question of how good Johnson might be in that role is less clear, and the Bears remain a candidate to pickup a veteran running back by signing or trade.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Slated for RB2 duties sans Monangai
Johnson will be the Bears' backup running back behind D'Andre Swift after Kyle Monangai was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers due to turf toe.
ANALYSIS
Per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com, Monangai is considered week-to-week, so Johnson could be the Bears' RB2 beyond Week 5. Johnson was a fourth-round selection of the Bears in the 2023 NFL Draft, but his usage dipped from his rookie year to his sophomore campaign before he completely fell out of the team's offensive gameplan in 2025, coinciding with Monangai entering the fold. Johnson has been mostly used on special teams this season, but Sunday's game provides him with the opportunity to audition for a larger offensive role, either in Chicago or with another organization looking to add depth to its backfield before the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
