• Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Cleared to play Sunday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Johnson was added to the Jaguars' injury report Thursday and was a limited participant in the team's final two practices of the week, but the hamstring issue won't keep him from playing Sunday. He'll be available as a third option out of the backfield behind Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby, with most of Johnson's usage likely to come on passing downs. Etienne made his return from a two-game absence in last week's loss to the Eagles, and Johnson consequently saw his snap share drop to 22 percent, his lowest since Week 5.

• Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Questionable for Week 10

  Johnson (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings. Johnson likely sustained a hamstring injury during practice this week and is now in jeopardy of missing Jacksonville's Week 10 game. He practiced in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday, but if he's unable to play through the issue Sunday, expect Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby to handle all of the Jaguars' running back duties.

• Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Working through hamstring injury

  Johnson (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday. Johnson may have picked up the injury during practice Wednesday or Thursday. His participation in Friday's session will provide clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Johnson has served as the Jaguars' No. 3 running back this season behind Travis Etienne (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (ankle).

• Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Less involved as No. 2 back

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson carried once for three yards and caught one of two targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers. The 28-year-old totaled 20 touches in the previous two games with Travis Etienne (hamstring) unavailable, but both of those contests were blowouts. Tank Bigsby dominated the backfield work Sunday as Jacksonville nearly took Green Bay to overtime. Johnson likely won't be a fantasy-relevant option but should continue to see some chances in passing situations until Etienne is back.

• Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Sleeper RBs

  18D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  If Travis Etienne (hamstring) is out again in Week 8 against the Packers, then I like Johnson as a flex option in PPR. If the Packers are playing with a lead against Jacksonville, then Johnson should get more work in the passing game than Tank Bigsby, who only has two targets this season. Johnson has nine targets in his past three games, and he had seven catches over that span. He also had 10 PPR points in Week 7 against New England with nine carries for 38 yards and three catches for 32 yards on four targets.
