The Jacksonville Jaguars are re-signing running back D'Ernest Johnson to a one-year deal, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 28-year-old hit the open market on Monday but ultimately ended up coming back to the team's crowded running back room. Starter Travis Etienne has a secure spot as the lead back, while 2023 rookie Tank Bigsby is expected to see an enhanced role in 2024. This leaves Johnson in the RB3 and special teams running back role, so he'll remain off the fantasy radar next ...

Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson faces a tough Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 15. Johnson was removed from the injury report heading into the weekend after logging limited practice sessions this week, and should resume his backup role in the offense.

This hasn't meant fantasy relevance for Johnson ...

Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson (knee) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. Johnson has been limited in both practice sessions to begin the week. This is noteworthy because starting back Travis Etienne Jr. (ribs) has also been limited this week.

If Johnson sits, ...

Jacksonville Jaguars running backs Travis Etienne Jr. (ribs) and D'Ernest Johnson (knee) are both listed as questionable for the Week 14 contest versus the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Etienne was also questionable for Monday night's overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, but he ended up suiting up and saw 15 touches for 79 yards and a touchdown.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. With the Jaguars having played just two days ago, the team was likely cautious with the running back to start the week. Johnson will have two more chances to upgrade his practice status before Jacksonville takes on the Cleveland Browns in Week 14. The 27-year-old back remains a great handcuff to Travis Etienne but doesn't carry much fantasy value this weekend. He is likely only a flex ...
