Roschon Johnson opened the 2024 fantasy football season as a depth running back option for the Chicago Bears behind starter D'Andre Swift. He failed to record any playing time during the first two weeks of the season but in his third game earned a fairly significant role. He played in 37% of the snaps and received 12 touches for 62 yards.

Swift has severely struggled in his role as the starter, so after a promising performance last week, Johnson may have earned himself more touches going forward. It will be interesting to see how the Bears split their backfield workload in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams, but Johnson is a sleeper pick if gets a large enough role in their offense.

Is Tank Bigsby a good fantasy pick in Week 4?

Tank Bigsby serves as the primary RB2 behind Travis Etienne for the Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive system. He openened his 2024 fantasy football season with a solid perfromance in the first week of the year, playing in 32% of the snaps and impressively recording 73 yards on 12 carries.

The past two weeks have been a different story for Bigsby as he has totaled just two carries since then. Some of that can be explained by his shoulder injury, but he is reportedly expected to return to a larger role in Week 4 against the Houston Texans. The Jaguars are off to an alarming 0-3 start this year, so they may look to shake things up by giving Bigsby more touches.
