The Chicago Bears will face the Detroit Lions in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Roschon Johnson.

Should You Start or Sit Roschon Johnson in Week 13?
- Roschon Johnson: 6
- David Montgomery: 5
- Derrick Henry: 4
- Kenneth Walker: 4
- Jahmyr Gibbs: 4
Yep, that’s the running back leaderboard in one-yard touchdowns through 12 weeks. Johnson had two touchdowns on his NFL résumé entering this season, but the Bears have unleashed him as their vulture in the post-Justin Fields era, and it’s paying off (he’s 6-for-6 on such attempts).
This season, the second-year back is averaging just 5.9 touches per game, and while the scoring equity is nice to have on your roster, there’s no reason to reach this far in the rankings to fill out your Week 13 lineup.
Might there be a time and place for Johnson? I could see it if you’re battling injuries in a deeper format — this just isn’t that spot in a game where I don’t see the Bears consistently threatening the red zone.
