Who Should I Start? Kenny McIntosh or Isaiah Davis

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Seattle Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh (knee) is believed to have sustained a torn ACL. He suffered the injury during practice on Saturday, requiring assistance off the field. The 25-year-old finished the 2024 campaign with only 172 yards off 31 carries. He is competing for the No. 3 spot behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet while potentially serving as a return man on special teams. However, with McIntosh's season likely over, rookie Damien Martinez could replace him on the depth chart, although that won't help him be relevant for fantasy managers, at least as long as Walker and Charbonnet are healthy. McIntosh will undergo further testing, with an official diagnosis expected soon.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis won't be on the fantasy radar this weekend when his team takes on the visiting Buffalo Bills. As expected, Davis operated as New York's third option in their ground attack in Week 1. However, the touch split was more drastic than initially anticipated. Incumbent starter Breece Hall carried the ball 19 times, while quarterback Justin Fields attempted 12 rushes of his own. Davis and Braelon Allen combined for just eight touches, with the latter ceding four to his second-year counterpart. If either Allen or Hall were to miss time, Davis should step in as the de facto change-of-pace option, particularly with Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) dealing with an injury. For now, though, his role is too limited to be viable for fantasy. The 23-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR RB70 ahead of this weekend.
