Chris Johnson ($5,700)

Chris Johnson's viability this week depends on Andre Ellington's injury status. Ellington went down with a knee injury last week, and it doesn't seem like he'll be ready to go against the Bears. Chris Johnson saw 18 snaps to David Johnson's 5 last week and looks like he'll be the lead back in Ellington's absence.

The Bears gave up 85 yards and a touchdown to Eddie Lacy last week and, in 2014, gave up the 12th most fantasy points to opposing running backs while ranking 27th in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play, meaning this is a solid matchup for Johnson.

Regardless of whether or not Johnson has lost a step, at $5,700 there aren't many backs in the league I wouldn't consider playing if they were going to get a heavy workload against the Bears.
