New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball four times for 41 yards in a 32-20 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Davis was impressive in a backup role behind Breece Hall, ripping off a 20-yard run and averaging 10.3 yards per carry. While fellow rookie Braelon Allen got most of the attention this season, Davis quietly carved out a role in the New York offense as the year went on. He remains blocked by Breece Hall and Allen on the Jets but he is a good player to stash in dynasty heading into the offseason.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis rushed for 35 yards on three carries and added an eight-yard reception in a Week 17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The rookie running back will look to finish his debut season on a high note in a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. The Dolphins have been tough on opposing running games this season, allowing the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Davis has shown flashes in limited work this season but he is not a recommended fantasy play as the No. 3 back behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen this weekend.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball three times for 35 yards and caught his lone target for an eight-yard gain in a 40-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 17. Davis averaged an impressive 11.7 yards per carry in his limited work while outperforming Braelon Allen for the third straight game. The Jets have nothing left to play for, which means there's an outside chance they could shut down starting running back Breece Hall heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, making Davis an interesting preemptive waiver add in fantasy leagues with championships that run through the regular-season finale.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball three times for 12 yards in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Davis dealt with a back injury throughout the week but came into the game without an injury designation and mixed in behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen in the low-scoring loss. Davis' emergence has clouded the handcuff situation for the Jets as both he and Allen saw three touches behind Hall's 19 against LA. Davis is worth stashing in deep leagues moving forward just in case. The Jets will head on the road to face the Buffalo Bills in Week 17.
Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis Limited With Back Injuries
New York Jets running backs Braelon Allen (back) and Isaiah Davis (back) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. As the Jets prepare for Week 16, Allen and Davis are two names to monitor. Typically, players who are limited on Wednesday manage to log full sessions by Friday, but that's never a guarantee. Having Allen and Davis available is key for the Jets as they look to take some of the workload off Breece Hall's shoulders. Hall, who missed Week 14 with a knee injury, returned last Sunday but registered just nine carries and two receptions. Assuming Allen and Davis both play this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, the two rookies would be candidates to earn a handful of touches.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball five times for 24 yards and caught his lone target for a two-yard gain in a 32-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. Davis saw extra work in the contest after Braelon Allen missed some time with a back injury. The injury allowed Davis to finish just six yards behind starter Breece Hall in the high-scoring win. Depending on how Allen's back injury checks out in the coming days, Davis will be worth a claim on waivers this upcoming week with the Jets preparing to host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball 10 times for 40 yards and a touchdown while catching three of his six targets for 27 yards in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. With Breece Hall (knee) inactive, Davis didn't get the start but he overshadowed the more hyped Braelon Allen, finding the end zone on a 17-yard run in the second quarter. Davis seems unlikely to wrestle away the lead-back role from Allen if Hall misses another game but he has become interesting as a handcuff option in fantasy leagues moving forward. He should be a priority waiver add this week as the Jets prepare to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis is expected to have a larger role in the offense for the Week 14 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The Jets are without lead back Breece Hall (knee) which means Braelon Allen and Davis are likely to split up the carries in the backfield. Davis hasn't done much this season, but he did haul in three receptions for 28 yards and a touchdown last week. The assumption is that Davis will get at least a handful of carries on Sunday. Fantasy managers should consider Davis a low-end flex option for this Week 14 matchup.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball once for four yards and caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. The rookie scored the first touchdown of his career on a four-yard reception in the first quarter, giving the Jets a two-score lead early in the game. Breece Hall dealt with a knee injury throughout the week leading up to the game, which may be why Davis played a larger role than usual in the team's passing attack. That said, the rookie is no better than the third-string running back on the depth chart and has little fantasy value heading into a Week 14 road matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
New York Jets rookie fifth-round running back Isaiah Davis, who is a jack of all trades in the backfield, is the leading candidate for the RB3 role to open up his first year in the NFL. Davis could also land a job as a kick returner on special teams. Breece Hall will be the team's workhorse starting running back in 2024, with rookie Braelon Allen earning the backup change-of-pace role. The 22-year-old Davis is merely a stash candidate in deep dynasty/keeper fantasy leagues this year. He was a workhorse back in his time at South Dakota State and has enough size and power to be intriguing as an early-down back if he ever sees significant playing time down the road. With Davis looking primed for the RB3 role to begin the year, it means that Israel Abanikanda will open the season as the team's RB4.
