Who Should I Start? Samaje Perine or Isaiah Davis

Monday, October 27, 9:47 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine posted his best game of the season during Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Perine rushed nine time for 94 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The 30-year-old remains the backup in Cincinnati, but has seen more work lately. In fact, Perine has seen his carries increase every game since Week 5. Chase Brown remains the starter, but Perine could be forcing more of a split backfield if he continues playing like this. Perine could be worth a stash for fantasy managers in need of running back depth.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis was efficient in his team's 39-38 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, rushing for 65 yards on seven carries. He also added 44 more through the air on 5-of-5 receiving. Davis finally saw a more significant workload as the Jets nabbed their first win in Week 8. Most of his rushing production came on a long gain of 50 yards, but he broke a tackle in the hole and nearly broke free for an even longer touchdown. Either way, the receiving work was nice to see as New York showed some semblance of offense. Davis doesn't yet boast standalone value. However, maybe his performance on Sunday earned him a greater piece of the backfield pie moving forward. In any case, it was the first time he out-received Breece Hall, and would be a more enticing asset if that became a trend. It's also worth noting that his value would skyrocket if Hall were to be traded.
