Who Should I Start? Antonio Gibson or Isaiah Davis

Monday, August 4, 11:22 PM

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson returned to practice on Wednesday, according to Brian Hines of SBNation. Gibson was dealing with an undisclosed issue, but everything appears to be all good with him health-wise. The 2020 third-round pick had a solid first season in New England in 2024, averaging 4.5 yards per carry and 9 yards per reception. With the addition of 2025 second-round pick TreVeyon Henderson, along with the presence of Rhamondre Stevenson, Gibson will likely be reduced to a backup role behind them.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis won't be on the fantasy radar this weekend when his team takes on the visiting Buffalo Bills. As expected, Davis operated as New York's third option in their ground attack in Week 1. However, the touch split was more drastic than initially anticipated. Incumbent starter Breece Hall carried the ball 19 times, while quarterback Justin Fields attempted 12 rushes of his own. Davis and Braelon Allen combined for just eight touches, with the latter ceding four to his second-year counterpart. If either Allen or Hall were to miss time, Davis should step in as the de facto change-of-pace option, particularly with Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) dealing with an injury. For now, though, his role is too limited to be viable for fantasy. The 23-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR RB70 ahead of this weekend.
