BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4
ANALYSIS: There was some value to having Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson on fantasy rosters, but with running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) "good to go" for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles, that value may be gone. Johnson was the primary pass-catching back before, but that role could be slipping.

The main knock against Bigsby's potential to be a three-down back was his lack of involvement in the passing game, but in Week 8, he was targeted three times. This may not seem like much, but he had only earned two targets on the season up to that point. His role as a receiver will likely continue to grow.
This would push Johnson to a mostly backup role, making it unlikely that he gets much volume at all outside of potential garbage time usage if the game is out of reach. While that's possible, it's not something you should count on for fantasy football, and he becomes little more than a super-deep league bench stash handcuff option.
Leave him on benches or as a free agent.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
