Isaiah Davis Rest-of-Season Outlook
Efficient depth RB for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB59 last season at 4.5 points per game.
Our 2026 Preseason Outlook
Davis has done plenty with the limited work he's gotten. Across 43 carries in 2025 he ripped off 236 yards at 5.49 per tote, with a 50-yard burst and explosive runs on nearly 14% of his attempts. He also flashed as a receiver, turning 28 targets into 21 grabs for 186 yards on a tidy 0.92 yards per route run. The catch: a 28% snap share and just 10 red-zone touches cap his ceiling, and his 0.005 EPA per play says the efficiency came on low-leverage volume.
The path forward is narrow. Breece Hall and Braelon Allen sit ahead of him, leaving Davis as a passing-downs piece rather than a true handcuff. New coordinator Frank Reich has historically fed backs in the passing game, which could nudge his target floor, but projections near 135 rushing and 78 receiving yards keep him a deep-league dart only.
