Who Should I Start? A.J. Dillon or Isaiah Davis

Philadelphia Eagles running back A.J. Dillon once again saw himself get priority over Will Shipley for second-in-command in the backfield this past Sunday, but that meant playing just 14.8% of offensive snaps compared to Shipley's 13.1%. Dillon carried the ball twice for 12 yards, with one attempt coming in the red zone. It seems like Shipley will get more usage in the passing game than his counterpart, being targeted twice while Dillon did not get any looks. Regardless, neither Dillon nor Shipley are involved enough to warrant a start in fantasy this week.

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.
