New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis (concussion) entered concussion protocol and was ruled out during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 17 loss against the New England Patriots. Davis exited the contest while making a tackle on special teams. He registered three carries, 11 rushing yards, one catch, and nine receiving yards prior to his departure. The Jets also lost Breece Hall (knee) in the fourth quarter, forcing Kene Nwangwu and Khalil Herbert into the game. Those two backs would be in line to share ball-carrying duties against Buffalo in Week 18 if neither Hall nor Davis are able to suit up.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis cannot be trusted for fantasy in this weekend's home matchup with the New England Patriots, despite being more involved in the offense recently. Davis has seen his snap share rise modestly over the previous two games as the Jets transitioned to Brady Cook under center. Correlatively, the 23-year-old has put together two of his better performances of the campaign, racking up 60-plus yards in each while seeing 17 total touches - his most in a two-game stretch since back before New York's Week 9 bye. It's an encouraging development for Davis, although he'll remain off owners' radars this weekend, particularly with a tough Patriots' rush defense on tap. New England has been an unfavorable spot for RBs, as they've allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the position (19.24). With not much upside in a struggling Jets' attack, Davis ranks as RotoBaller's PPR RB61 ahead of Week 17's outing.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis made the most out of his increased playing time on Sunday. Davis has seen more involvement down the stretch of the season and is taking full advantage of it. On Sunday, Davis rushed the ball three times for eight yards, while hauling in all four of his targets for 52 yards in the loss to the New Orleans Saints. These are promising numbers from Davis, who has been a non-factor throughout most of the season. The 23-year-old remains behind Breece Hall in the pecking order, so his fantasy value outlook isn't great. Davis won't be a recommended starting option for the difficult matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 17.
Dec 21, 2025 7:54 PM EST
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis won't be in fantasy consideration this weekend despite an excellent matchup with a vulnerable New Orleans Saints defense. Davis is coming off his best game of the season in Week 15, racking up 58 yards on a season-high nine carries and his first touchdown of 2025. He added seven yards on his lone target, while playing his highest percentage of team snaps since way back in Week 8 (38%). It's unclear if Davis' workload was due to game script or the fact that backfield mate Breece Hall was dealing with an injury, considering the latter was listed on the team's practice report with a knee issue, although he missed no time. Davis and Hall have a dream matchup on tap in Week 16 in a sieve-like Saints' rush defense (130.6 YPG [seventh-most]). However, a volatile touch share and a rookie quarterback in Brady Cook calling signals spell a staggeringly low fantasy floor for the former. The South Dakota State product retains his low-end handcuff role and is RotoBaller's PPR RB62 for the weekend ahead.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis could be in line for more work in this weekend's road meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it will remain difficult to trust him for fantasy. The second-year pro has seen his share of the backfield touch load taper off significantly over the last month or so, picking up just three targets and 11 carries over the previous five games. However, he could see an elevated workload in Week 15. Teammate Breece Hall carries no designation into Sunday's outing, although he dealt with a knee injury this week, potentially leading to the team scaling back his workload when they take on the hosting Jaguars. Furthermore, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Jets lean on the ground game with rookie signal-caller Brady Cook getting his first start under center. That said, Jacksonville has been one of the more challenging matchups for opposing rushers, yielding the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game (17.92) to the position. Even if Davis boasts an increased opportunity this Sunday, it doesn't figure to be impactful for fantasy. He'll rank as RotoBaller's PPR RB66 ahead of Week 15.
Dec 13, 2025 2:45 AM EST
Across 13 games so far in 2025, New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis has recorded 277 scrimmage yards on 43 touches. Davis has served as the Jets' RB2 behind Breece Hall since Week 4, when second-year back Braelon Allen (knee) suffered a knee injury that landed him on Injured Reserve. The Jets have given almost all of their backfield work to Hall, as Davis has logged more than four touches in a game just twice this season. Davis has zero standalone value for fantasy managers as long as Hall remains healthy. However, if Hall were to get injured, Davis would be in line to dominate backfield touches in New York. As fantasy managers hit the playoffs in most league formats, Davis could be worth stashing in a bench spot just in case Hall gets hurt. The Jets will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints, and New England Patriots over the next three weeks.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis offers little more than handcuff insurance ahead of the team's Week 13 meeting against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. The South Dakota State product encroached on 50% of New York's snaps for a two-game stretch during Weeks 7 and 8. However, he's dipped back down since, failing to eclipse 30% of plays in the three ensuing contests. With backfield mate Breece Hall dominating touches on the ground, and even regaining a role in the passing game - which the 23-year-old had owned for a period of time - Davis boasts no value outside his low-end handcuff status. As it stands, fantasy managers can safely avoid the second-year back, particularly with teammate Braelon Allen's (knee) potential return on the horizon. Davis is RotoBaller's PPR RB57 for Week 13.

Once New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) landed on Injured Reserve after suffering an MCL sprain in Week 4, fellow Jets back Isaiah Davis stepped into the RB2 role in New York behind Breece Hall. However, despite the increased opportunity, Davis has failed to steal much work away from Hall. Across seven games since Allen went down, Davis has recorded 204 scrimmage yards on 33 touches. His 4.7 touches per game over that stretch pales in comparison to Hall, who has averaged 18.7 touches per contest. Even with Allen's status for the remainder of 2025 unclear, Davis appears unlikely to provide fantasy-relevant production as long as Hall stays healthy. Davis should remain off the radar of fantasy managers heading into the Jets' Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
Nov 28, 2025 10:48 AM EST
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis shouldn't be considered for fantasy when his team squares off with the hosting Baltimore Ravens this Sunday. Preceding New York's bye in Week 9, Davis looked to be garnering a bit more of the backfield touch share as they picked up their first win of the campaign in a shootout with Cincinnati. However, instead of a steady increase in workload, the second-year pro has accrued just six total touches and 22 scrimmage yards in the two ensuing games. Meanwhile, teammate Breece Hall took over as the Jets' unquestioned lead rusher, pushing Davis down under 20 snaps (14, 16) for the first time since back in Week 6. With a minimal role in an underachieving New York scheme, the 23-year-old can be safely avoided in shallow leagues. He comes in at the PPR RB44 in RotoBaller's Week 12 ranks.
Nov 22, 2025 11:25 AM EST
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.
Nov 14, 2025 9:17 AM EST
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.
Nov 12, 2025 8:47 PM EST
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.
Nov 8, 2025 10:39 AM EST
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.
Nov 5, 2025 10:49 AM EST
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.
Nov 4, 2025 12:15 PM EST
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.
Oct 30, 2025 10:41 AM EST
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.
Oct 27, 2025 11:15 AM EST
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.
Oct 25, 2025 4:14 AM EST
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.
Oct 22, 2025 10:43 AM EST
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.
Oct 21, 2025 12:57 PM EST
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.
