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.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis picked up 14 yards on four carries in Saturday's preseason win over the hosting Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium. Davis also caught his lone target for no gain in Saturday's victory over Carolina. The Jets chose the 22-year-old South Dakota State product in the fifth round of this past spring's NFL Draft to bolster their backfield depth following last year's losses of backups Dalvin Cook and Michael Carter. While he reeled in four passes for 33 yards in last week's preseason opener, Davis' impact in the receiving game figures to be minimal behind workhorse starter Breece Hall this season, and he looks to be no greater than the No. 3 option on the depth chart ahead of his final chance to make a case for a spot on New York's roster in next Saturday's preseason finale at MetLife Stadium against the New York Giants.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis played a big role in the passing game out of the backfield in Saturday's preseason win over the visiting Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium, reeling in four passes for 33 yards in the victory. However, he only generated eight yards on the ground over four carries. Davis is one of three Jets tailbacks vying for the No. 2 role this summer behind starter Breece Hall on New York's RB depth chart, and he at least showed on Saturday afternoon against the Commanders that he can contribute through the air when given the opportunity. The 22-year-old South Dakota State product put up a robust 7.6 yards per carry over his four-year college career, but for now, he looks like the fourth option out of the backfield in the Meadowlands behind fourth-round rookie Braelon Allen and 2023 fifth-rounder Israel Abanikanda.
SNY's Connor Hughes writes that the New York Jets seem to really like rookie fifth-round running back Isaiah Davis, who has gotten a ton of work with the first-team offense and quarterback Aaron Rodgers during organized team activities this week. Unfortunately for Davis, rookie fourth-rounder Braelon Allen has been one of the biggest standouts during OTAs because of his emergence as a pass-catcher despite his reputation as a bruising power back in college. Davis and Allen have gotten more reps thanks to a minor lower-body injury that has kept starter Breece Hall on the sidelines this offseason. As of right now, both Davis and Allen have pushed 2023 fifth-rounder Israel Abanikanda down the depth chart. Davis' dynasty stock is up, and he could eventually develop into a short-yardage option for the Jets.
