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.

Through his team's first six games this season, Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has seen minimal usage. Davis has recorded just 48 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 16 total touches. After averaging 7.6 touches per game as a rookie in 2024, Davis is averaging 2.7 touches per game so far in 2025. Bills RB1 James Cook is currently dominating the early-down work in Buffalo, with veteran back Ty Johnson playing a role on passing downs. That leaves Davis on the outside looking in, barring an injury. Davis maintains some fantasy value as the handcuff option to Cook. Still, his standalone appeal is nonexistent if his usage remains the same when Buffalo returns to the field after its Week 7 bye.
