Isaiah Davis News
Saturday, October 3, 9:40 AM
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis is finally in line for offensive work with Breece Hall (quad) ruled out for Sunday against Chicago. Davis has not recorded a carry or reception through three games, but head coach Aaron Glenn said this week that his role on offense will grow. Braelon Allen should still be the first back fantasy managers look to in this situation, and RotoBaller ranks Davis as RB52 for Week 4, so expectations need to stay in check. There is some reason for interest, though. Davis averaged 5.5 yards per carry on 43 attempts last season and has averaged 5.6 yards across 73 career carries. Chicago has allowed 117 rushing yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry through three weeks. Davis could see enough work to matter in deeper formats with Hall sidelined, but his first meaningful offensive role of the season makes him a difficult option to trust in standard leagues.

Kaelon Black News
Friday, October 2, 11:57 PM
San Francisco 49ers running back Kaelon Black saw a healthy 38.5% snap share in the first two games of the season. The 49ers had both contests well in hand early on, allowing them to get Black involved frequently as a means of managing Christian McCaffrey's workload. When the Cardinals proved surprisingly pesky in Week 3, San Francisco leaned on their star at the expense of the rookie, who saw just eight snaps to CMC's 45. That pattern may follow in Week 4, when the 49ers take on the Denver Broncos, who have engineered fourth-quarter comebacks in each of the last two weeks. On the plus side, the Broncos have been soft against the run so far in 2026, giving up the third-highest yards per carry and highest EPA per rush attempt. Black is projected as a borderline RB4/5 for Week 4. Fantasy managers may want to look for an option with more certain playing time before plugging Black into their lineups.
