Roschon Johnson would be the guy to fill in. Johnson doesn't have the speed or shiftiness of Monangai... He had just 6 yards on five attempts against Green Bay, and last week he was much better with 51 yards on 13 carries, but that still keeps him below the 4.0 threshold. But he's not a guy you want having 10-plus touches in a game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Roschon Johnson lacks efficiency (3.9 YPC) and speed; not viable for 10+ touches.

Roschon Johnson would fill in for the injured Kyle Monangai, but he lacks the speed and shiftiness of Monangai. Johnson has struggled with efficiency, posting just 6 yards on 5 attempts against Green Bay and 51 yards on 13 carries last week (3.9 YPC), keeping him below the 4.0 yards-per-carry threshold. While Johnson is a nice blocker with good hands and special teams value, he is not a player you want having 10-plus touches in a game, limiting his fantasy upside as a fill-in starter.
