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.

Mike Washington Jr. News
Saturday, October 3, 5:57 AM
Across the first three games of his NFL career, Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. has recorded 15 carries for 102 yards and a touchdown. The 23-year-old has flashed high-end upside, including rushing for a 36-yard touchdown in the Raiders' Week 3 win over the New Orleans Saints. However, his production upside is limited while playing behind star Las Vegas back Ashton Jeanty, who has operated as a true three-down workhorse. In Week 4, the Raiders will take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City has defended well against the run so far this season, ranking 10th in the NFL in total rushing yards allowed (299). The Chiefs have also been very good at limiting explosive plays on the ground, allowing just one carry of 20 or more yards. Given his limited workload, Washington Jr. needs big plays to be useful for fantasy managers. Washington Jr. remains a high-end handcuff running back option, but he should be left on benches in Week 4.
