Who Should I Start? Jeremy McNichols or Isaiah Davis

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols has maintained his role as the team's primary back on pass downs for the majority of this season. McNichols has totaled 26 carries for 181 yards and a touchdown to go along with 15 receptions for 149 yards on 20 targets as a receiver. The veteran has two games with double-digit PPR points this season, with the first coming in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders when he broke off a career-long 60-yard touchdown run, and the second in Week 8 versus the Kansas City Chiefs when he racked up five receptions for 64 yards. McNichols' season high for touches is only six as he remains behind Chris Rodriguez Jr. and Jacory Croskey-Merritt, so the weekly floor for fantasy is still low, keeping him relevant primarily in deeper leagues.

Across 13 games so far in 2025, New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis has recorded 277 scrimmage yards on 43 touches. Davis has served as the Jets' RB2 behind Breece Hall since Week 4, when second-year back Braelon Allen (knee) suffered a knee injury that landed him on Injured Reserve. The Jets have given almost all of their backfield work to Hall, as Davis has logged more than four touches in a game just twice this season. Davis has zero standalone value for fantasy managers as long as Hall remains healthy. However, if Hall were to get injured, Davis would be in line to dominate backfield touches in New York. As fantasy managers hit the playoffs in most league formats, Davis could be worth stashing in a bench spot just in case Hall gets hurt. The Jets will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints, and New England Patriots over the next three weeks.
