Isaiah Davis Appears Buried on the Jets Running Back Depth Chart

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.

Phil Mafah News

Phil Mafah Finds the End Zone in Week 18

Monday, January 5, 11:00 AM

Dallas Cowboys running back Phil Mafah got his first taste of NFL action in Week 18 against the New York Giants and finished the game with 29 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on seven touches. A seventh-round pick out of Clemson in the 2025 NFL draft, Mafah spent most of his rookie season on Injured Reserve with a shoulder injury. He got his chance to make an impression in Week 18 due to injuries to Cowboys running backs Javonte Williams (shoulder, neck) and Malik Davis (calf, eye). Heading into 2026, the Cowboys' running back room is in flux. Williams was the team's clear RB1 throughout the 2025 season, but he will hit free agency and is uncertain to be retained. Davis is also a free agent, though Dallas holds his restricted free agent rights. Depending on how the Cowboys choose to address the running back position this offseason, Mafah could find himself battling with 2025 fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue for a role in the Dallas backfield.
