The Jacksonville Jaguars have ruled out Toby Gerhart (foot) for Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans. Gerhart has been extremely ineffective and he was on his way out anyway., so the door was wide open for a running back to step up. The Jags will likely turn to running back Storm Johnson this week.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 6: Storm Johnson
The Jaguars could count on Storm Johnson this week. Should fantasy owners even think about using him?

Who? While he sounds more like a meteorologist, Storm put up an impressive 6.8 yards per carry against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Coach Gus Bradley said he thinks it could be Johnson's chance to shine. As it turns out, he'll get a tremendous chance to do so because the Titans are a horrible defense. They rank 26th in rushing yards against and have only been the 17th-toughest matchup for fantasy runnings. That rank is a little low because they have allowed a lot of receiving TDs.
Fantasy impact: Johnson should be owned in all leagues, but it'll take a little slice of crazy to start him. Johnson is more of a flex if you're stuck in the bye-week blues. Denard Robinson is probably his only threat for competition.
