JAX RB D'Ernest Johnson - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Detroit Lions

Tank Bigsby is dealing with an ankle injury, which would put D'Ernst Johnson in line to back up Travis Etienne. Johnson is dealing with a hamstring injury himself, however. He may be headed for a questionable tag this week. If he does play, he's a handcuff to Etienne but only worth a start in very deep leagues. Detroit is stout against the run and the offense may have to pass just to play catch-up.

JAX RB D'Ernest Johnson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

JAX RB D'Ernest Johnson - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. New England Patriots (in London)

D'Ernest Johnson will see more work this week as he enters a bit of a timeshare with Tank Bigsby following the hamstring injury to Travis Etienne. Jacksonville should be able to run the ball more after being down early and often against the Bears. Bigsby will likely see more snaps but Johnson has enough juice to warrant consideration for a Flex spot this week against a Patriots team in the bottom half of the league against the run.

JAX RB D'Ernest Johnson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Carolina Panthers

D'Ernest Johnson had no role at all for the Jaguars in Week 16 once they fell behind big to the Buccaneers. He carried the ball once for 2 yards. His carries have gone down in each of his last four games and he has gone two full games without seeing a single target.

The Panthers are a pretty good matchup for fantasy running backs, ranking 19th in aPFA, but Johnson's lack of opportunities makes him a player that should not be in your lineups in Week 17. It can even be questioned as to whether he should be on your benches.

JAX RB D'Ernest Johnson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

D'Ernest Johnson did nothing with the few opportunities sent his way against the Ravens, rushing twice for five yards. After back-to-back games with seven carries in Weeks 11 and 12, Johnson has a combined 10 carries over his last three games.

Johnson's lack of opportunity allied with a matchup against the top-ranked team in aFPA to running backs this season makes him a player that you should in no way feel like starting in Week 16.

JAX RB D'Ernest Johnson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Baltimore Ravens

Despite Travis Etienne’s inefficiency, D’Ernest Johnson remains a distant second in terms of backfield work for the Jaguars. Johnson had three carries for 12 yards and two catches for 16 more last week, finishing with 3.8 Half-PPR points and as RB48.

Johnson’s small part, coupled with a less than ideal matchup, makes him a player that fantasy managers should not have to start this week. If you do, and expect more than distant RB5 numbers from him, you’re likely to be disappointed.

JAX RB D'Ernest Johnson - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cleveland Browns

D'Ernest Johnson remained a bit part player for the Jaguars in Week 13, rushing five times for four yards and catching his sole target for five more. He only managed 1.4 Half-PPR points.

The Browns rank eighth in aFPA to running backs this season, making this a matchup to steer away from at the best of times. With no Trevor Lawrence in the lineup and Travis Etienne in his way, Johnson is a long way away from being a player you need to start in fantasy football.
