Who Should I Start? Isaiah Davis or Will Shipley

Sunday, December 22, 5:09 PM

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball three times for 12 yards in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Davis dealt with a back injury throughout the week but came into the game without an injury designation and mixed in behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen in the low-scoring loss. Davis' emergence has clouded the handcuff situation for the Jets as both he and Allen saw three touches behind Hall's 19 against LA. Davis is worth stashing in deep leagues moving forward just in case. The Jets will head on the road to face the Buffalo Bills in Week 17.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley took five carries for 15 yards and caught all four of his targets for 31 yards during the team's 14-13 win over the New England Patriots. Kenneth Gainwell again got the start Thursday night with the second-team offense but was replaced much earlier this week by Shipley, who saw snaps with No. 2 quarterback Kenny Pickett. The rookie only saw one target last week, but was targeted by both quarterbacks throughout the game and was far more efficient with them than Gainwell. While Shipley may open the season as the No. 3 on the depth chart, he can easily push for passing down snaps and earn more playing time as the season rolls on unless Gainwell can step it up compared to last year. Neither will retain any fantasy relevance in redraft leagues unless Saquon Barkley misses time.
