Isaiah Davis Finally in Line for Offensive Work

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.

Raheim Sanders News

Raheim Sanders Pairs Increased Receiving Volume with More Playing Time

Tuesday, September 29, 9:05 PM

Cleveland Browns running back Raheim Sanders remains the clear backup to Quinshon Judkins, but that hasn't stopped him from carving out RB3/flex appeal in very deep leagues. Sanders saw his snap share soar to 43% on Sunday, and along the way, he caught four of five targets for 34 receiving yards. The 24-year-old now has eight catches through three games, seamlessly taking the place of pass-catching running back Dylan Sampson (knee), who was placed on injured reserve. The Browns' offense is still a bit iffy right now, and we're not confident they can support two fantasy-relevant running backs at a time. Instead, most of Sanders' value comes from his status as a handcuff, even if it means he'll require more patience and offer less of an immediate burst of fantasy points.
