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

ADP
$Signed a four-year, $4.27 million contract with the Jets in May of 2024.
First touches Saturday
RBNew York Jets
August 17, 2024
Davis rushed the ball four times for 14 yards in Saturday's 15-12 preseason win over the Panthers. He added one reception (on one target) for zero yards.
ANALYSIS
Davis looks to be third on the Jets' running back depth chart behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen, though he did get the first reps out of the backfield Saturday. His biggest gain of the day came on his opening carry, which went for nine yards. Davis was a strong receiver in his final two years at South Dakota State, a skill set that could help him see the field occasionally on obvious passing downs once the regular season begins.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting reps in return game
RBNew York Jets
May 29, 2024
Davis was one of five Jets who saw reps as a kick returner during Wednesday's OTA session, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Along with Davis, Xavier Gipson, Tarik Cohen, Hamze El-Zayat and Brandon Codrington also took back kicks. Davis appears to be behind fellow rookie running back Braelon Allen in the pecking order after starter Breece Hall, so special teams contributions could be the key to the fifth-round draft pick out of South Dakota State cementing a spot on the 53-man roster ahead of Cohen, Israel Abanikanda and Xazavian Valladay.
