Who Should I Start? Braelon Allen or Isaiah Davis

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen will "have plenty of opportunities in 2025 to make his mark and prove he can be the long-term starter with (current starter Breece) Hall in the last year of his contract," according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Rosenblatt notes that Jets' first-year head coach Aaron Glenn and play caller Tanner Engstrand would like to emulate the two-back model that was so successful in their last stop with the Detroit Lions. Allen was the clear RB2 behind Breece Hall last season, earning 92 carries for 334 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games played. A more even timeshare with Hall would be a highly fantasy-relevant development in the Jets backfield. That's especially true if Allen, as the larger back, gets more of the team's work around the goal line.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball four times for 41 yards in a 32-20 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Davis was impressive in a backup role behind Breece Hall, ripping off a 20-yard run and averaging 10.3 yards per carry. While fellow rookie Braelon Allen got most of the attention this season, Davis quietly carved out a role in the New York offense as the year went on. He remains blocked by Breece Hall and Allen on the Jets but he is a good player to stash in dynasty heading into the offseason.
