Roschon Johnson vs Tank Bigsby: The Full Breakdown
The gap between Roschon Johnson and Tank Bigsby is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.5 PPG in 2025, this is one of those running back decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Roschon Johnson averaged 8.1 PPG with the Chicago Bears across 14 games, and Tank Bigsby posted 8.6 with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 16.
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. Roschon Johnson ran for 445 yards and 4 touchdowns; Tank Bigsby posted 745 and 6. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Roschon Johnson has his bye in Week 7, and Tank Bigsby rests in Week 12. 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.
