Isaiah Davis

22-Year-Old Running BackRB
2024 Fantasy Outlook
A workhorse for FCS power South Dakota State, Davis has the size and power to potentially be an effective short-yardage option in the NFL. Taken in the fifth round in 2024 by the Jets, he can run through tackles but also has the balance to survive traffic in the hole if he doesn't get clean blocking. A lack of elusiveness will invite a lot of contact though, and he didn't show standout receiving or pass protection skills in college. Davis will compete with Israel Abanikanda and fellow 2024 draftee Braelon Allen for touches behind Breece Hall. Read Past Outlooks

Steps up with Hall hurt
RBNew York Jets
December 8, 2024
Davis rushed 10 times for 40 yards and a touchdown while catching three of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Davis and Braelon Allen (11 carries for 43 yards) both took on larger roles as Breece Hall (knee) missed a game for the first time this season. Davis' 17-yard touchdown run in the second quarter marked the Jets' first touchdown in Miami since 2021 and gave New York a 10-9 lead. After handling 16 combined carries and targets apiece against Miami, Davis and Allen would likely maintain close an even split in Week 15 against the Jaguars if Hall remains sidelined.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to retain elevated role
RBNew York Jets
December 12, 2024
Davis is in line for a prominent role in Week 15 against the Jaguars, as coach Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday that Breece Hall is "struggling a bit" with the knee injury that sidelined the starting running back in Week 14 against Miami, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Davis capitalized on Hall's absence against the Dolphins, working in a timeshare with Braelon Allen. While Davis and Allen each got 16 combined carries and targets, Davis scored the only touchdown between the two running backs on a 17-yard run in the second quarter. If Hall sits out Week 15, Davis and Allen would be poised for significant usage against a weak Jaguars defense.
