Isaiah Davis News
Friday, September 11, 6:34 PM
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis (knee) has been cleared to suit up for the Week 1 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Davis has been dealing with a minor knee injury, but he was able to practice in full all week. It sounds like a minor issue that isn't going to impact his status for the season opener. With Breece Hall and Braelon Allen healthy, Davis is unlikely to see much of the field right now. The third-year back will begin the season as the third-string option, so he isn't someone who needs to be rostered in 12-team formats. The 24-year-old has some stash value in dynasty leagues, but he can be left on the waiver wire in most formats.

Mike Washington Jr. News
Monday, September 14, 7:40 AM
Las Vegas Raiders running back Mike Washington Jr. made good use of his limited work in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Miami Dolphins, turning seven carries into 41 yards. Ashton Jeanty still owned the backfield with 23 carries and six catches, so Washington is not pushing for a starting fantasy spot in Week 2. He is becoming harder to leave on waiver wires, though. The Raiders traded up to take Washington 122nd overall in April, and the 6-foot-2, 228-pound rookie opened the season second to Jeanty on the depth chart. Washington also handled first-team work when Jeanty left an August practice with an injury, giving Las Vegas a chance to see him with the starting offense before the games counted. Seven carries do not give Washington much standalone value yet, especially with Jeanty healthy. They do reinforce his place as the back fantasy managers want behind him. Washington should be stashed in 12-team leagues before that role becomes more expensive, rather than viewed as a Week 2 play against the Chargers.
