Who Should I Start? Dillon Johnson or Isaiah Davis

Thursday, September 5, 2:14 PM

The Carolina Panthers signed rookie running back Dillon Johnson to the practice squad on Thursday, according to NFL.com. Johnson went unselected in the 2024 NFL Draft following a stellar season at Washington. While playing in a loaded offense featuring Michael Penix Jr., Rome Odunze, Ja'Lynn Polk, and Jalen McMillan, Johnson rushed 233 times for 1,195 yards and 16 touchdowns in 14 games last season. He spent time with the Tennessee Titans this offseason before being let go on July 25. He was signed by Carolina on July 31 but waived on August 19. Carolina won't have Jonathon Brooks (knee) for at least the first four games of the season, and with Miles Sanders (finger) banged up, Johnson adds depth to the practice squad. For now, he's nowhere near the fantasy football radar.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball five times for 24 yards and caught his lone target for a two-yard gain in a 32-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. Davis saw extra work in the contest after Braelon Allen left early with a back injury. The injury allowed Davis to finish just six yards behind starter Breece Hall in the high-scoring win. Depending on how Allen's back injury checks out in the coming days, Davis will be worth a claim on waivers this upcoming week with the Jets preparing to host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16.
