Is Isaiah Davis the More Valuable Jets Handcuff?
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis has scarcely been used through his first two seasons in the league, but has shown enough efficiency on his limited opportunities to cling to a roster spot at the bottom of dynasty benches. With Breece Hall signing a three-year deal this offseason to stick with the Jets through the 2028 season, the backup role in New York will carry little standalone value for the foreseeable future, evidenced by Davis' 236-yard, single-touchdown stat line from 2025, despite fellow 2024 pick Braelon Allen going down with a Week 4 MCL sprain that ended his second season. With Hall handling a 72.8% running back rush share as one of 2025's true bell cow backs, the insurance value of his primary handcuff is clear. However, with enough ambiguity between Davis and Allen to cloud the picture of a backfield without Hall, there is reason for both players to be held. Allen fits the mold of the traditional between-the-tackles runner, while Davis has averaged 5.6 yards per carry through his first two seasons and has looked functional in the passing game. The reality is that neither player would likely see a full complement of work in Hall's absence, but for now, both belong rostered even with Davis down at RB80 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.
