Who Should I Start? Tyrion Davis-Price or Israel Abanikanda

Monday, June 2, 12:01 PM

Former San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles running back Tyrion Davis-Price signed an undisclosed two-year deal with the Tennessee Titans on Monday, according to his agent. Davis-Price never panned out for the Niners after they took him in the third round (93rd overall) in 2022 out of LSU. The 24-year-old played in just seven games (no starts) in his first two years in the NFL in the Bay Area, carrying the ball 40 times for 120 yards and no touchdowns. He was active for just one game in Philly last year and had three carries for seven yards. Davis-Price will now head to Tennessee to provide some RB depth behind Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, Julius Chestnut and rookie Kalel Mullings. If Davis-Price sticks around past training camp this summer, it will likely be on Tennessee's practice squad.

New York Jets running back Israel Abanikanda is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 1 regular-season opener at Levi's Stadium on Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Abanikanda enters the 2024 season as the team's RB4 behind starter and bell-cow Breece Hall and rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. As such, the 21-year-old is obviously off the fantasy radar in most single-year leagues for the time being unless injuries push him into a relevant game-day role. The former fifth-round pick out of Pittsburgh last year was also buried on the depth chart in his rookie season and finished with 22 carries for 70 yards while catching seven passes for 43 yards in only six games. Abanikanda has breakaway speed but is once again buried on the depth chart and will have to wait for his opportunity beyond Week 1.
