Jacksonville Jaguars running back Toby Gerhart was a full participant in practice on Wednesday despite a foot injury. Gerhart has talked about the injury and has said that it's giving him problems, though he's not expected to miss any time. He had just four carries against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5, however, and that is a cause for concern.
Toby Gerhart not limited in practice; fantasy value still suspect
Toby Gerhart was not limited in practice on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Gerhart will definitely play in Week 6, but the questions about what kind of workload he'll have are legitimate. Jacksonville is taking on the Tennessee Titans Sunday, a team without a great run defense. Tennessee allows 136.8 yards per game on average, which is good (bad) for 26th in the league. Gerhart could be in line for a big game against said defense if he were projected to get a full workload.
Fantasy Impact: The Jaguars have been talking an awful lot about rookie running back Storm Johnson, for what it's worth. It seems likely that Gerhart will get the start and receive around 10 carries, but that the Jags will try to work in Johnson at some point to see what he can offer. Gerhart is probably not a safe fantasy start this week given the lingering injuries.
