Isaiah Davis News
Wednesday, June 24, 8:17 AM
Across 16 games in 2025, New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis recorded 422 scrimmage yards and one touchdown on 64 touches. The 24-year-old moved into the RB2 role in New York behind star Jets back Breece Hall after Jets rusher Braelon Allen suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. However, Davis' workload remained highly limited, as he averaged just four touches per game on the year. Despite averaging a highly efficient 5.6 yards per carry over his first two NFL seasons, Davis has never been able to carve out a sizable role in the Jets' offense. With Hall and Allen both still ahead of him on the depth chart, Davis' outlook does not appear to be significantly different entering 2026. The third-year back remains a somewhat intriguing stash option in deep dynasty leagues, but dynasty managers in shallower league formats may have better uses for a roster spot.

Emmett Johnson News
Friday, June 12, 8:39 AM
After a highly productive career at the University of Nebraska, running back Emmett Johnson was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Johnson dominated the Big Ten in 2025, recording 1,821 scrimmage yards and 15 touchdowns on 297 touches across 12 games. His path to the starting job with the Chiefs is blocked by running back Kenneth Walker III, whom Kansas City signed to a big-money deal in free agency in March. However, Johnson could emerge as the team's RB2 in 2026 if he can beat out fellow Kansas City backs Emari Demercado and Brashard Smith. Walker III was fully healthy in 2025, but he missed 10 games over the first three seasons of his NFL career from 2022 to 2024. If Johnson establishes himself as the primary backup running back for the Chiefs, his three-down skill set makes him a high-end handcuff option for fantasy managers. In dynasty formats, Johnson's stock is rising entering his rookie campaign.
