Who Should I Start? Braelon Allen or Ray Davis

According to head coach Aaron Glenn, New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) could miss 8-12 weeks with the MCL sprain he suffered in Week 4's loss to the Miami Dolphins. Reports were that Allen would miss more than the minimum number of required games, but it now appears he'll be out until at least December, with surgery still an option. In the 21-year-old's absence, teammate Isaiah Davis will take over the Jets' RB2 duties behind starter Breece Hall, and the newly-acquired Khalil Herbert will handle the RB3 role with Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) still tending to injury. Fantasy managers can safely drop Allen in all redraft formats as the likelihood of him making an impact to close out the 2025 season remains low.

After an encouraging rookie season in 2024, Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has seen his role in his team's offense decline significantly so far in 2025. Through nine games, Davis has logged just 24 carries for 44 yards. The 26-year-old logged seven offensive snaps in Buffalo's Week 10 loss to Miami and has played double-digit snaps in only three games this season. With Bills running backs James Cook and Ty Johnson both healthy and ready to go for the team's Week 11 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there's not much reason for fantasy managers to think Davis' role will be significantly different. Davis maintains some value as a handcuff option for Cook, but he's not worth starting in fantasy in Week 11.
