Who Should I Start? Tyler Goodson or Isaiah Davis

Friday, October 3, 7:42 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (groin) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders at Lucas Oil Stadium after missing practice all week, according to Amanda Foster of Colts.com. Goodson suffered the injury in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday. The 24-year-old second-year back has only been active for two games in four weeks for Indy due to injuries, and he only has two carries for six yards on the season as backfield depth for the Colts. Goodson has no business being rostered in the vast majority of fantasy leagues right now. With him missing yet another game, rookie DJ Giddens should serve as the backup for workhorse Jonathan Taylor against the Raiders, with Ameer Abdullah and Ulysses Bentley serving as additional depth.

With New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) currently on Injured Reserve, fellow Jets back Isaiah Davis is in line to be the team's RB2 behind Breece Hall. In New York's first full game without Allen in Week 5, Davis saw a limited workload, recording 33 yards from scrimmage on four total touches. In Week 6, the Jets will travel to London to take on the Denver Broncos. Denver's defense has been very stingy against the run so far this season, allowing the sixth-fewest rushing yards (442) in the NFL so far this season. Davis did see four targets and record three receptions in Week 5, so his best chance at fantasy production may be as a receiver out of the backfield. Still, he profiles as a desperation flex option for fantasy managers at best and should likely be avoided in Week 6 against Denver.
