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

Philadelphia Eagles running back A.J. Dillon is in line to back up Saquon Barkley against the Rams this week, with new backfield acquisition Tank Bigsby set to be third on the depth chart. This comes after RB Will Shipley has been ruled out with an oblique injury. Bigsby is yet to get any touches with his new team, and it's unlikely Dillon will get many looks either with Barkley seeing 81.3% of snaps on offense so far this season. While Dillon is the better option of the two benchwarmers, he's still not a reliable starting RB in fantasy for Week 3.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis should be monitored during Week 3's matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Davis won't be on the radar for fantasy purposes, but that doesn't mean owners should turn a blind eye to him. Through two games, the 23-year-old has yet to make headlines for his play, but garnered more playing time last weekend as opposed to New York's season opener. He's still getting out-touched by running mate Braelon Allen. Davis played more snaps in Week 2, though, and appears to be the favorite behind Breece Hall in passing situations. This is still Hall's backfield, and with him healthy, pickings will be slim for either Davis or Allen. Moreover, the offense's instability lowers the floors for all rushers. Whomever ultimately wins out will hold some value as a handcuff. For now, Davis can be left alone for fantasy. He's RotoBaller's PPR RB71 ahead of Week 3.
