Kareem Hunt vs Roschon Johnson: The Full Breakdown
The gap between Kareem Hunt and Roschon Johnson is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.1 PPG in 2025, this is one of those running back decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Kareem Hunt averaged 8.0 PPG with the Kansas City Chiefs across 17 games, and Roschon Johnson posted 8.1 with the Chicago Bears in 14.
When two running backs are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Kareem Hunt ran for 611 yards and 8 touchdowns; Roschon Johnson posted 445 and 4. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Kareem Hunt has his bye in Week 5, and Roschon Johnson rests in Week 7. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
