Malik Davis News
Wednesday, June 3, 1:57 PM
Tommy Yarrish of the Dallas Cowboys' official website writes that running back Malik Davis "appears to be the front-runner" for the RB2 job again for the time being. As the RB2 in 2025 in his third year in the NFL, Davis saw a career-high 52 carries for 250 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and two rushing touchdowns, adding only two catches for 16 yards in 10 games (zero starts). The Cowboys signed RB1 Javonte Williams to a three-year, $24 million contract extension in late February, so Davis is stuck behind him for the foreseeable future in Dallas. Williams led the Cowboys with 252 carries and 1,201 rushing yards last year. In addition to Davis, the Cowboys have Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah in their RB room that could compete for RB2 duties this summer. Blue needs to show more consistency, and Mafah was on Injured Reserve for most of his rookie campaign. At best, Davis will enter the 2026 season as a deep-league handcuff for those who have Williams rostered. He's outside of RotoBaller's top-100 RB rankings currently.

Isaiah Davis News
Wednesday, June 24, 8:17 AM
Across 16 games in 2025, New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis recorded 422 scrimmage yards and one touchdown on 64 touches. The 24-year-old moved into the RB2 role in New York behind star Jets back Breece Hall after Jets rusher Braelon Allen suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. However, Davis' workload remained highly limited, as he averaged just four touches per game on the year. Despite averaging a highly efficient 5.6 yards per carry over his first two NFL seasons, Davis has never been able to carve out a sizable role in the Jets' offense. With Hall and Allen both still ahead of him on the depth chart, Davis' outlook does not appear to be significantly different entering 2026. The third-year back remains a somewhat intriguing stash option in deep dynasty leagues, but dynasty managers in shallower league formats may have better uses for a roster spot.
