Isaiah Davis the Early Favorite for Jets RB2 Role

Wednesday, July 22, 1:36 PM

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt thinks that New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis is the early favorite to win the RB2 role in training camp this summer behind starter Breece Hall. Davis' primary competition will be Braelon Allen. Both backs will have opportunities in change-of-pace roles behind Hall. Allen isn't big and strong like Allen, but what he lacks in power, he has made up for in efficiency, averaging 5.6 yards on 73 career rushing attempts while also catching 30 of his 40 targets as a receiver. Allen has looked great in the summer the last two years, but it hasn't translated to production during the regular season, as he has averaged 3.7 yards per carry on 110 rushing attempts for 410 yards and three touchdowns, adding 21 catches for 165 yards and another TD as a receiver. Allen was developing some momentum in 2025 before suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. Both Davis and Allen are nothing more than handcuff options for managers who select Hall in deeper fantasy leagues in 2026. The 24-year-old Davis has more standalone fantasy appeal in deep PPR leagues this year.

Frank Gore Jr. News

Frank Gore Jr. Leads Bills in All-Purpose Yards in Win

Saturday, August 23, 11:50 PM

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore Jr. led the Bills in yards from scrimmage for the third straight week in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. Gore amassed 61 total yards (32 rushing, 29 receiving) on 10 carries and two catches, and he scored his lone touchdown of the preseason on a one-yard run in the first quarter. In all, the hard-running 23-year-old piled up 104 yards on the ground on 23 attempts and hauled in 11 catches for another 109 yards in three preseason contests. Even though Gore stood out in Buffalo's exhibition games, he doesn't have a clear path to a roster spot with James Cook, Ray Davis, and Ty Johnson ahead of him on the depth chart. Odds are that the former Southern Miss standout will either wind up on the Bills' practice squad for the second year in a row or join another team via waivers before the season. He made a compelling case that he's an NFL-caliber back during the preseason.
