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.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis was one of the bigger losers of the trade deadline. After weeks of speculation that the team might move Breece Hall, the Jets ultimately held onto their starter, keeping him locked in as the clear RB1. Davis was coming off the best performance of his young career before the bye, totaling 109 scrimmage yards on 12 touches, showing burst and efficiency when given opportunities. However, his path to meaningful volume remains limited with Hall still leading the backfield. The Jets also face a difficult Week 10 matchup against Cleveland, a defense allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs. Davis currently profiles as a stash-and-hold handcuff rather than a startable option.
