The Jacksonville Jaguars signed running back JaMycal Hasty to an undisclosed contract extension on Sunday. Hasty was set to become a restricted free agent in March at the start of the new league year. He was acquired just before the 2022 season and finished last year with 194 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 46 carries while catching 20 passes for 126 yards and one more score in the regular season in 17 games. The 26-year-old's role increased when the Jags traded James Robinson to the New York Jets on Oct. 25, and he served as Travis Etienne Jr.'s primary backup the rest of the way. Hasty will face competition from Snoop Conner for the backup role behind Etienne in 2023.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back JaMycal Hasty was impressive in taking over for the injured Travis Etienne Jr. (foot) in Week 12, rushing 12 times for 28 yards and adding five receptions for 67 yards and a touchdown. Etienne went down during the first half, and while the Jaguars claimed he was cleared to return to action, they chose to play it safe with their young star and held him out of the rest of the contest. Of course, it wouldn't come as a huge shock if the Jaguars held Etienne out for a Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions after he missed all of the 2021 season with a Lisfranc injury to that same foot. The Jaguars are also likely to get Darrell Henderson Jr. more involved this coming weekend. Treat Hasty as a flex play if Etienne doesn't end up playing against Detroit in Week 13.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (foot) injured his foot in the Week 12 win over the Baltimore Ravens and didn't return early in the contest after just two carries for three yards. JaMycal Hasty entered to lead the backfield with 12 carries for just 28 yards and he caught all five of his targets for 67 yards and a touchdown through the air. The 26-year-old wasn't very effective on the ground, but he made up for it with his work in the passing game. Etienne's injury doesn't appear to be very serious, so Hasty won't have any standalone starting fantasy value in Week 13 against the Detroit Lions if Etienne is active. Hasty could be worth a waiver-wire pickup as insurance in deeper leagues if you have Etienne rostered.
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that running back JaMycal Hasty's carries will go up after the team traded James Robinson to the New York Jets this week. Pederson said the team wants to make sure that Travis Etienne Jr. plays more going forward as the primary back, but they also want to get him through the season healthy, which is where Hasty comes into play. The 26-year-old has just five carries on the season for 69 yards and a touchdown, adding two receptions for 22 yards. Hasty is unlikely to have any standalone fantasy appeal unless Etienne misses time with injury, but he's a solid handcuff pickup if you already have Etienne rostered.
Jaguars Claim JaMycal Hasty Off Waivers From 49ers
The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed former San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty off waivers on Wednesday. They also claimed defensive back Tyree Gillespie, kicker Riley Patterson, wide receiver Kendric Pryor and linebacker Ty Summers off waivers. As the 49ers primary third-down back last year, Hasty caught 23 of his 29 targets for 157 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games in his second NFL season. He also had 16 carries for 68 yards and one touchdown. In Jacksonville, the 25-year-old will compete for a backup role with Snoop Conner behind Travis Etienne Jr. and James Robinson. Hasty would probably only have fantasy appeal in PPR leagues if Etienne were to miss time with an injury.
The San Francisco 49ers waived running back JaMycal Hasty on Tuesday, according to a source. Hasty served as the team's primary third-down back in 2021 and finished with 16 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown while adding 23 receptions (29 targets) for 157 additional yards in 11 regular season games (zero starts). In his two seasons with the Niners, he tallied 55 carries for 216 yards (3.9 yards per carry) and two touchdowns, adding 30 catches for 190 yards on 37 targets in 19 games (zero starts). There's a chance Hasty returns to the Niners practice squad if he isn't claimed off waivers. San Francisco will move forward with Elijah Mitchell as their starter, with Jeff Wilson Jr., Trey Sermon and rookie Tyrion Davis-Price behind him.
San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty carried the ball three times for 15 yards, adding one catch for two yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 17-7 victory over the Vikings. The 25-year-old was involved on the first drive with a four-yard run before eventually snagging a two-yard touchdown grab to begin the fourth quarter, which ended up being the game-winning score. The Baylor product is competing with veteran Jeff Wilson Jr., rookie Tyrion Davis-Price, and sophomore Trey Sermon to slot in behind Elijah Mitchell (hamstring). Hasty was re-signed by the team this offseason and has a shot at earning the No. 2 role, which should be valuable for fantasy football. This makes Hasty a player to monitor, and consider taking a chance towards the end of your draft.
The San Francisco 49ers signed running back JaMycal Hasty and quarterback Nate Sudfeld on Thursday. San Fran also inked defensive lineman Kevin Givens, defensive lineman Maurice Hurst and offensive lineman Colton McKivitz to one-year deals. Sudfeld received a one-year, fully guaranteed $2 million deal with upside to get it to $3 million. Some people believe Sudfeld has the potential to be a starter in the NFL, but he'll likely be serving as Trey Lance's backup in 2022, assuming the Niners trade Jimmy Garoppolo. Hasty, 25, had 68 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries while adding 23 catches for 157 yards in 11 games last season. Even if the 49ers don't re-sign Raheem Mostert this offseason, Hasty will be competing for backup carries behind Elijah Mitchell in 2022.
JaMycal Hasty Finishes With 29 Yards In Week 16 Loss
San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty carried once for three yards and caught all three of his passes for an additional 26 receiving yards during a 20-17 Week 16 loss against the Tennessee Titans. Hasty, a second-year running back out of Baylor, has been limited as a running back during his two years on the 49ers, being used sparingly in the passing game. Hasty is buried behind rookie Elijah Mitchell and veteran Jeff Wilson Jr, who recently returned from an offseason knee injury. He is an intriguing stash in dynasty leagues, but he should be left on redraft waiver wires even in a plus matchup against the Houston Texans run defense in Week 17.
San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty caught three of five passes for 10 yards during a 26-23 overtime win against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. The second-year running back did not receive a single carry behind Jeff Wilson Jr. and Deebo Samuel but did haul in three receptions for ten yards. Hasty has only seen more than three carries once this season and has not scored a touchdown since Week 1. He should be dropped from rosters moving forward, assuming rookie Elijah Mitchell is on the mend after being ruled out in Week 14 with a concussion and knee soreness. Even if Mitchell does not return against Atlanta in Week 15, Hasty does not warrant consideration in fantasy lineups.
