New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis was barely involved on Thursday Night Football, as the second-year back out of South Dakota State was limited to just two carries for 11 yards. He also got one target, but after a stretch where it appeared Davis might be relevant in fantasy football, that has slowly dwindled, as we are also seeing his snap share percentage decrease since the bye week, down to 29 percent. To put that into perspective, the two weeks before the bye week, he was playing 47 percent of the snaps. Currently, Breece Hall is the backfield's main option, and Davis can be dropped to the waiver wire to make room for other high-level running back handcuffs that may be available. Up next for the Jets is a trip to Maryland to take on the Baltimore Ravens, who appear to have found their groove and gotten healthy, winning their last three games.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis took a step back in Week 10, operating in a clear second capacity to backfield mate Breece Hall, again leaving his role in question. Davis entered New York's bye week coming off a season-high in touches (12), yards (109), and snap share (46%). However, he saw a dip in their win over the Browns, while the team leaned on Hall as its workhorse. The second-year pro looked to be on the upswing, but he'll slide in the rankings ahead of another rough matchup in the New England Patriots. In addition, head coach Aaron Glenn has declined to name a starting quarterback for the third consecutive game, leaving the offense's potential for flux high. While Davis might be worth handcuff consideration, Hall's domination of the backfield touches and New York's low offensive floor leave him on the lower end of that spectrum. He's RotoBaller's PPR RB49 ahead of Week 11.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis put together his most productive performance of the season in Week 8's win over the Bengals, but could find it more difficult to churn out yardage when he takes on the Cleveland Browns this Sunday. Davis saw season-highs across the board in Week 8, piling up 65 yards on seven carries, and adding 44 more on 5-of-5 receiving. While it was an encouraging performance, Cleveland's defense is a much more formidable opponent. Furthermore, it's unclear if the South Dakota State product will retain the uptick in volume following the team's week off, considering he didn't see a correlative uptick in snap share. If Davis runs hard again, he may finally garner more solidified work in the backfield. Until then, he'll be a dodgy, low-floor play. Davis is RotoBaller's PPR RB36 ahead of Sunday's slate of action.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis was one of the bigger losers of the trade deadline. After weeks of speculation that the team might move Breece Hall, the Jets ultimately held onto their starter, keeping him locked in as the clear RB1. Davis was coming off the best performance of his young career before the bye, totaling 109 scrimmage yards on 12 touches, showing burst and efficiency when given opportunities. However, his path to meaningful volume remains limited with Hall still leading the backfield. The Jets also face a difficult Week 10 matchup against Cleveland, a defense allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs. Davis currently profiles as a stash-and-hold handcuff rather than a startable option.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis is currently rostered in only 14% of Yahoo leagues and is the clear backup to starter Breece Hall. However, Hall's name has been heavily mentioned in trade rumors, and there could be a 50-50 chance that he's dealt by Tuesday's 4 p.m. trade deadline. If Hall is shipped out of town, Davis would have a clear path to lead-back duties for the Jets. Fantasy managers looking for upgrades at the RB position who have room to spare on their roster may want to consider adding the 23-year-old off the waiver wire in case Hall is traded on Tuesday. Davis had a season-high seven rushing attempts in the Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, gaining 65 yards while also catching a season-high five passes for 44 yards. Hall had been bothered by a knee injury leading up to that game, but even if Hall isn't traded, Davis' role could expand in his change-of-pace role for the second half of the year.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis had a breakout performance in Week 8, racking up 109 yards on just 12 touches in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets leaned on their backfield in their best offensive game of the season, with both Davis and Breece Hall taking advantage of Cincinnati's soft run defense. While Davis isn't yet a fantasy starter, trade rumors surrounding Hall could quickly change that. Hall is in the final year of his contract, and with the 1-7 Jets unlikely to contend, the team could look to move him for future assets. If that happens, Davis would step into a significant role and could emerge as a valuable fantasy stash with RB1 upside down the stretch.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis was efficient in his team's 39-38 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, rushing for 65 yards on seven carries. He also added 44 more through the air on 5-of-5 receiving. Davis finally saw a more significant workload as the Jets nabbed their first win in Week 8. Most of his rushing production came on a long gain of 50 yards, but he broke a tackle in the hole and nearly broke free for an even longer touchdown. Either way, the receiving work was nice to see as New York showed some semblance of offense. Davis doesn't yet boast standalone value. However, maybe his performance on Sunday earned him a greater piece of the backfield pie moving forward. In any case, it was the first time he out-received Breece Hall, and would be a more enticing asset if that became a trend. It's also worth noting that his value would skyrocket if Hall were to be traded.

In three games since seizing the New York Jets' backup running back role, second-year pro Isaiah Davis has yet to make an impact. That said, it could come to fruition this Sunday when the team takes on a sieve-like Cincinnati Bengals defense. When teammate Braelon Allen (knee) went down with a knee injury, Davis immediately stepped into the latter's role, backing up starter Breece Hall (knee). In those three games, though, the South Dakota State product has accumulated just 17 yards on five carries, adding 49 yards through the air on 6-of-9 receiving. It isn't very inspiring, but the stage is set for him to see more work while Hall battles a knee injury. The sentiment appears to be that Hall will play. If that doesn't work out, the 23-year-old will handle a majority of New York's backfield touches with teammate Khalil Herbert working behind him. If Hall is active, Davis figures to occupy his primary role as a change-of-pace option, potentially garnering a slight boost in work due to the former's knee issue. He's RotoBaller's PPR RB34 ahead of Sunday's contest with the Bengals.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis could quietly become a factor down the stretch of the 2025 season. So far, Davis has logged 10 carries for 44 yards and added nine receptions for 73 yards through the air. With Braelon Allen (knee) sidelined after undergoing surgery, Davis stepped in as the RB2, playing 39% of the snaps in his absence. Now, with trade rumors swirling around Breece Hall, Davis' role could expand even further. The winless Jets (0-7) may look to move Hall, who's in the final year of his contract. If that happens, Davis could find himself in line for a much larger workload. Even if New York brings in another back, Davis' fantasy value is on the rise. The Jets face the Cincinnati Bengals, who currently rank as the worst run defense in the NFL, making Week 8 a key opportunity to see how Davis performs with limited touches.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis is the clear RB2 behind starter Breece Hall, with Braelon Allen (knee) injured, but he wasn't able to get anything going on just four carries in Sunday's ugly 13-6 loss to the visiting Carolina Panthers in Week 7. Davis had only two rushing attempts for 10 yards and caught two of his four targets for 22 yards on a day when starting quarterback Justin Fields was benched in favor of veteran Tyrod Taylor in the second half. The 23-year-old is the fantasy handcuff to Hall as long as Allen remains out, but Davis has seen more than two carries in a game just once this year and has yet to rush for over 18 yards in a bad Jets offense. Davis is averaging 4.4 yards per carry on his 10 rushing attempts through seven games. Perhaps the Jets' offense can improve if Fields is benched permanently, but Davis won't have any standalone fantasy value behind Hall. Davis is rostered in only 4% of Yahoo leagues.

Despite ascending in the team's backfield pecking order, New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis has not seen his opportunity translate to fantasy success and remains exclusively in a change-of-pace role for this Sunday's game with the visiting Carolina Panthers. In two appearances as the backup to running mate Breece Hall, the 23-year-old has accrued seven yards on three carries and four receptions for 27 yards (five targets). In contrast, Hall has racked up 40 touches over that time frame. If the veteran were ever to be traded, Davis projects to step in as the lead back and would undoubtedly be interesting for fantasy. In the meantime, he doesn't command enough work to garner standalone value. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR RB47 ahead of this weekend's slate of action.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis has recorded just 85 yards from scrimmage on 15 total touches across six games so far this season. However, the 23-year-old could be on the verge of a significant increase in playing time and backfield touches. Davis moved into the Jets' RB2 role after Week 4, when second-year back Braelon Allen (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury. Breece Hall remains the team's clear lead rusher, but Hall is in the final year of his current contract with the 0-6 Jets and has been frequently mentioned as a trade candidate. If Hall were to get dealt or suffer an injury, Davis would be in line to assume a workhorse role in New York. In deep leagues, he should be rostered and stashed given his clear playing time upside in the second half of the season.

With New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) currently on Injured Reserve, fellow Jets back Isaiah Davis is in line to be the team's RB2 behind Breece Hall. In New York's first full game without Allen in Week 5, Davis saw a limited workload, recording 33 yards from scrimmage on four total touches. In Week 6, the Jets will travel to London to take on the Denver Broncos. Denver's defense has been very stingy against the run so far this season, allowing the sixth-fewest rushing yards (442) in the NFL so far this season. Davis did see four targets and record three receptions in Week 5, so his best chance at fantasy production may be as a receiver out of the backfield. Still, he profiles as a desperation flex option for fantasy managers at best and should likely be avoided in Week 6 against Denver.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis had a quiet game in Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys, recording just one carry for five yards and three catches for 28 yards on four targets. It was New York's first game this season without running back Braelon Allen (knee), which bumped Davis up to the team's RB2 role. However, lead Jets' back Breece Hall dominated the backfield work, recording 155 yards from scrimmage on 18 total touches. Davis is worth rostering in deeper fantasy leagues as a handcuff to Hall, but for now, he does not appear to carry standalone value for fantasy managers.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis should handle an increased workload against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5 after teammate Braelon Allen (knee) was placed on injured reserve. Allen and Davis have each carved out their respective roles behind Breece Hall through the first four weeks of the season, and now, Davis could end up handling his existing workload and all of Allen's vacated touches. The 23-year-old registered five touches on a 33 percent snap share last week, which is likely his floor going forward. There's also a scenario in which he handles roughly half of the backfield snaps and New York rides the hot hand, employing a committee between him and Hall. For now, though, Davis is a speculative stash who should not be in starting lineups, even against a Cowboys defense allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. That's partly due to the presence of Hall, and also partly due to the state of the Jets' offense, which has struggled to move the ball, even against below-average defenses.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis will be thrust into a more critical role in Week 5 when his team takes on the visiting Dallas Cowboys. The South Dakota State product saw his most extensive workload of the season last Monday night in their loss to the Dolphins, totaling 27 scrimmage yards on five touches (2-of-2 receiving). With backfield mate Braelon Allen not expected back until December, Davis projects to handle handcuff duties behind first-string rusher Breece Hall. Furthermore, with Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) deemed questionable, and Khalil Herbert only a member of the team since Thursday, Davis figures to handle an even more sizable role this weekend. It will be interesting to see how New York divvies up his backfield responsibilities, particularly with his prowess as a returner. Either way, he'll be challenging to depend on for standalone value until his weekly touch share increases. The 23-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR RB49 ahead of this weekend's action.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis is set to operate in an increased capacity moving forward due to the injury to teammate Braelon Allen (knee). Unfortunately, news surrounding Allen suggests that he'll miss more than the minimum of four games while on injured reserve. While he's out, Davis will operate as the primary handcuff to running back Breece Hall. With teammate Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) also battling injury, Davis is likely to see more volume than usual in their matchup against the Cowboys, considering Khalil Herbert only joined the team on Thursday. The 23-year-old was out there for a third of New York's snaps during their loss to the Dolphins in Week 4, and is worthy of a pickup -- at least for the Hall owner.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis is set for a possible increase in playing time with fellow Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) headed for injured reserve. Allen, as reported by Rich Cimini of ESPN, will be placed on IR on Thursday and will be out for longer than the minimum four weeks, and possibly could miss the rest of the season. While running back Breece Hall is slated to get the majority of carries out of the Jets' backfield, Davis could see an increased work load as well. He played 33% of snaps after Allen departed Monday's game, which included two catches. He'll warrant some consideration, especially in deeper PPR formats.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis drew a slightly larger workload in Monday night's 27-21 loss to the hosting Miami Dolphins after backfield mate Braelon Allen (knee) exited with injury. Davis wasn't a factor on the ground - churning out just nine yards on his three carries - but he took over Allen's work in the passing game (2/18), and again eclipsed the 100-yard mark as a returner (108). The Jets leaned on teammate Breece Hall for the most part, but if Allen were to miss any extended time, then Davis would take over as the primary handcuff to own. The South Dakota State alum probably won't garner enough work to be useful for fantasy with Hall in front of him. Still, he's a decent flex play in leagues that award points for return yards, especially against better offenses. Since taking over the duties in Week 2, he's racked up 323 yards on 11 returns.
