Isaiah Davis Sets Season-High in Touches, Yards

Monday, October 27, 11:15 AM

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis was efficient in his team's 39-38 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, rushing for 65 yards on seven carries. He also added 44 more through the air on 5-of-5 receiving. Davis finally saw a more significant workload as the Jets nabbed their first win in Week 8. Most of his rushing production came on a long gain of 50 yards, but he broke a tackle in the hole and nearly broke free for an even longer touchdown. Either way, the receiving work was nice to see as New York showed some semblance of offense. Davis doesn't yet boast standalone value. However, maybe his performance on Sunday earned him a greater piece of the backfield pie moving forward. In any case, it was the first time he out-received Breece Hall, and would be a more enticing asset if that became a trend. It's also worth noting that his value would skyrocket if Hall were to be traded.

DJ Giddens Remains a Handcuff Option in Week 7

Friday, October 17, 8:21 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back DJ Giddens was quiet in a Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals as he did not receive a touch while playing just two snaps on offense. The Colts surprisingly turned to Ameer Abdullah in the game as he notched two touches behind workhorse Jonathan Taylor. Giddens will look to get back in the stat sheet in a Week 7 road matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Colts are one of the few teams that lean heavily on just one running back in Taylor, which doesn't leave much work for his backups. That being said, Giddens is still worth keeping an eye on as a handcuff option in case Taylor is forced to miss time at any point, although that could change if he plays behind Abdullah again in Week 7.
