JaMycal Hasty Fantasy

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.
