Isaiah Davis News
Saturday, March 14, 8:46 AM
Across 16 games in 2025, New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis recorded 422 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 64 touches across 16 games played. The 24-year-old appeared to have a golden opportunity to carve out a more significant role in the backfield after fellow Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. However, Davis averaged just four touches per contest as he struggled to steal work away from Jets RB1 Breece Hall. Heading into 2026, Allen should be back in the mix, and New York recently placed the franchise tag on Hall. Barring injury, Davis appears likely to be buried on his team's running back depth chart. With a career average of 5.6 yards per carry, Davis maintains some dynasty upside, but he may need a trade out of New York to fully realize it.

Jordan James News
Tuesday, March 31, 10:38 AM
San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James, a fifth-round pick last year out of Oregon, appears to be the "front-runner" to be the top backup behind star Christian McCaffrey in 2026, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Brian Robinson Jr., who was CMC's primary backup in 2025, signed a one-year deal to join the Atlanta Falcons, leaving James, Isaac Guerendo, and Patrick Taylor Jr. as San Fran's options behind McCaffrey with the 2026 NFL draft looming next month. Head coach Kyle Shanahan noted that James was injured last summer and fell down the RB depth chart as a result, but his strong finish to the season makes him a candidate to back up McCaffrey to begin next season. The 22-year-old didn't have a single carry in three regular-season games in his rookie season, but he saw six rushing attempts for 28 yards in the playoff loss to the Seahawks. Given McCaffrey's lengthy injury history, if James sticks as San Fran's RB2 following the draft, he'll have plenty of fantasy value as a handcuff in single-year fantasy formats.
