Roschon Johnson Fantasy Football Outlook (2024)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Mar 10th 2024, 3:16am EDT

Roschon Johnson had a consistent role as a committee back in his rookie season, but he was never able to fully seize the backfield. In the three games he played at least 49% of the snaps, he did average 9.7 touches and 53.5 total yards while flashing upside in the passing game. Among 60 qualifying backs last year, he ranked 27th in yards per route run and 17th in targets per route run rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Sadly, though, Johnson's collegiate tackle-breaking prowess didn't translate to the NFL in year one as he finished outside the top 40 backs in explosive run rate (46th), missed tackles forced per attempt (49th), and yards after contact per attempt (42nd). Johnson will likely serve as the passing down compliment to Khalil Herbert again in 2024.
