BALLER MOVE: Add in 18+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: With Travis Etienne (hamstring) going down with a hamstring injury in Week 6, Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson has seen more opportunities on offense. After totaling only 12 touches in the first five weeks, Johnson has seen a combined 20 touches over the past two games.
Last week, Johnson totaled nine carries for 38 yards while also catching three passes for 32 yards. Despite only playing 34% of the Jaguars' offensive snaps in that game, the 28-year-old running back totaled a season-high 10 PPR fantasy points. However, he doesn't have much fantasy value if Etienne returns in Week 8.

Etienne and Tank Bigsby would split almost all the running back touches, leaving Johnson as the clear RB3 in this Jacksonville offense. When all three running backs have been healthy, the veteran played less than 25% of the offensive snaps in four of five games. So, he's likely only worth an add if Etienne were to miss this weekend's game against the Packers.
