Isaiah Davis is just as good, if not better, than Braylon Allen as a player. Reports suggest he could be the RB2 in the offense. Davis can handle more on the ground if something happens to Breece Hall and can be an every-down back in a pinch. He has proven pass-catching chops and has been deployed that way historically. Davis has also been really efficient when he's gotten the ball and touched the ball.

Zach Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports that Isaiah Davis is the early favorite to be the Jets' backup running back. Davis had two games last year with 7-9 carries, averaging 9.3 yards per carry with the Bengals (including a 50-yard run) and 6.4 yards per carry with the Jaguars (including a 24-yard TD run).
