The Jets made a late change at quarterback on Friday and rookie Cade Klubnik got the start against the Buccaneers as a result. Klubnik opened his first NFL appearance with a short pass to tight end Mason Taylor that turned into a 12-yard gain. The pair hooked up again for seven yards and Klubnik then found wideout Garrett Wilson twice for 32 yards. Wilson made an impressive leaping grab in traffic for a 21-yard gain on the first completion. The Jets settled for a field goal on that drive and Klubnik let running back Braelon Allen do the heavy lifting on the next drive. Allen ran for a 31-yard touchdown on Klubnik’s final play of the night. Klubnik finished 5-of-7 for 56 yards. Geno Smith was expected to start the game, but the Jets scratched him just before kickoff with what head coach Aaron Glenn called ankle soreness on the CBS broadcast. Glenn said the team does not believe it is a serious issue
Allen rushed four times for 44 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 24-16 preseason loss to the Buccaneers. Allen entered on the second drive after Breece Hall played the team's first possession. The 2024 fourth-round pick out of Wisconsin recorded rushes of eight and four yards before breaking free for a 31-yard touchdown run. Allen had been set to compete with Isaiah Davis (knee) for opportunities behind Hall, but Davis is week-to-week due to a knee injury, so Allen is expected to open the regular season as the team's No. 2 running back. Having bulked up to 250 pounds, Allen has the frame to take on short-yardage work, but he'll need to earn it by converting when such opportunities present themselves
Breece Hall to be featured more prominently as lead back for the Jets
Breece Hall's current ADP does not look inflated, but he is not a bargain
Jets running back Isaiah Davis will miss some time with a knee injury, coach Aaron Glenn announced Thursday. Glenn did not specify the nature of the injury but said it is not serious. “He had a minor knee [injury],” Glenn said after practice, via Dennis Waszak of the Associated Press. “He’ll be out maybe a couple of weeks, but he’ll be back . I’m confident that he’ll be just fine going into the regular season.” The Jets open the regular season on Sept. 13 at Tennessee. Davis, 24, is entering his third NFL season after the Jets selected him in the fifth round. He is expected to have a complementary role behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen while being a core special teams player. He had career highs with 236 yards rushing and 21 receptions last season in 16 games before missing the season finale with a concussion. In two seasons, Davis has rushed for 410 yards and a touchdown on 73 carries and caught 30 passes for 261 yards and a score

New York Jets running back Breece Hall finally cleared 1,000 rushing yards in 2025, yet five total touchdowns kept the season from feeling as strong as it was. Hall started 16 games and finished with 243 carries for 1,065 yards, plus 36 catches for 350 yards. That gave him 1,415 yards from scrimmage and pushed his four-year career total to 5,040. The Jets followed by signing the 25-year-old to a three-year extension, removing the contract question that hung over his dynasty value. Braelon Allen is healthy again, and Isaiah Davis played well when given touches last season. Aaron Glenn has called the group a three-headed backfield, so Hall may not dominate every week. His receiving work also bears watching after his targets fell from 95 in 2023 to 48 last year. Hall still sits at the front of the room, though, and New York has made a serious commitment to keeping him there. RotoBaller ranks him 44th overall and RB14 in dynasty. Contenders can pursue the immediate workload, while rebuilders do not need to move a 25-year-old back with long-term security and a proven receiving profile
Isaiah Davis is the early favorite to win the RB2 role in training camp behind starter Breece Hall
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis made a little go a long way last season, but the depth chart never opened the way it seemed it might. After Braelon Allen suffered a season-ending MCL injury in Week 4, Davis moved into the No. 2 spot behind Breece Hall. His best day came in Cincinnati, where he turned 12 touches into 109 yards. That was the exception. Davis finished 2025 with 43 carries for 236 yards and 21 catches for 186 yards, only 64 touches in 16 games even with Allen out for most of the season. Now Allen is back, and the Jets signed Hall to a multi-year extension in May. Aaron Glenn still likes the idea of using all three, though offseason work had Hall first, Allen second, and Davis third. The efficiency is real. Davis has averaged 5.6 yards per carry through two seasons and can help in the passing game. The workload is the problem. He belongs on rosters only in deep dynasty leagues, and neither contenders nor rebuilders should be paying much to get him
Geno Smith's battery investigation is inactive due to lack of evidence
New York Jets running back Breece Hall is not cheap in dynasty, but he still looks more like a buy for contenders than a player to sell before the 2026 season. Hall is only 25, just signed a multi-year extension, and gave the Jets a career-high 1,065 rushing yards last year despite another uneven offensive season. He also caught 36 passes for 350 yards, giving him 1,415 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdowns in 16 games. The one thing holding him out of the top dynasty RB tier is workload certainty. His passing-game role was much lighter than it was in 2023, and the Jets still want Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis involved enough to make this more than a one-man backfield. Even so, Hall is locked in as the lead back, carries RB14 value in RotoBaller's July dynasty rankings, and has the contract security rebuilding managers usually want from young backs. Rebuilders do not need to overpay, but win-now teams should be buying if his manager is worried about the committee talk
Heading into the 2026 season, the Jets have made a series of moves to improve the state of their roster and overall depth, but are they ready to compete for a playoff spot? In this series, we’ll break down the depth chart for every position group. This time, we’ll go in depth at the running back room... Starter : Breece Hall Backups : Braelon Allen , Isaiah Davis , Kene Nwangwu Key additions/losses : None, although Hall signed a three-year extension for over $15 million per year. 2025 ranking per PFF: Hall was 7th out of 59 qualifying running backs for overall grade Hall is coming off a career year, and still only 25 years old, so the Jets will be hoping he can continue to ascend now that they’ve resolved his contract situation. The Jets made a big commitment to Hall, giving him the sixth-largest running back contract in the league to ensure they retain him throughout his prime. Perhaps 2026 will be the year where he makes his first pro bowl. Davis and Allen give the Jets two viable backups, although Allen missed most of last season due to injury. Nwangwu can fill in at a pinch but is primarily on the team to return kickoffs. Undrafted rookies Chip Trayanum and Sam Scott should get plenty of reps in preseason and will look to earn a spot on the practice squad. Last season, the Jets primarily operated with a rotation that saw Davis entering the game on third down and relegated Hall to the bench for some key moments. While Davis caught 21 passes in that role, it was arguably not the optimal way of using Hall, who had 36 receptions. In 2023, he had more than twice that amount to lead all NFL running backs so he is clearly capable of contributing more in this area. New York was also hoping that Allen was going to start to make more meaningful contributions in the passing game, but he had just two catches in four games before his season ended prematurely, so he remains unproven. Despite the fact he’s entering his third season, Allen is still one of the Jets’ youngest players as he won’t turn 23 until next January. So far, his career has been underwhelming, as he’s averaged just 3.7 yards per carry. Allen reportedly bulked up to around 250 pounds during the offseason, so it will be interesting to see if he can still generate the same kind of burst and acceleration. In his first two seasons, he had a number of plays where he looked like he was going to break a big run but was tripped up at the second level, so if the additional weight can be beneficial for his contact balance, it could make him significantly more effective. Davis was drafted one round after Allen in 2023 and has had to wait patiently for opportunities at times, but whenever he’s been called upon, he’s had some good success. He has averaged 5.6 yards per carry and almost nine yards per catch in his first two seasons and arguably deserves the chance to see if he can maintain that level of production with a bigger workload. After a solid 2025 season with Allen mostly sidelined, Davis could have the inside track at the primary backup role. It may fall upon Allen to take his game to another level if he is going to push for that spot. Hall has been candid about how frustrating it has been to play for a team that loses so much, but now that the contract distraction is behind him, he is hungry and hopeful that the 2026 Jets are headed in the right direction. The Jets have retooled their passing game but already had a solid offensive line in place and haven’t made any changes to the running back rotation, so they appear confident that they already have the pieces they need to have an effective running game. With Geno Smith hopefully providing more of a pass game threat than any of the Jets’ quarterbacks on last year’s team, opposing defenses will be less likely to stack the box, so the Jets will hope for a balanced and effective offensive attack this year. You can expect Hall to be at the forefront of that
Across 16 games in 2025, New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis recorded 422 scrimmage yards and one touchdown on 64 touches. The 24-year-old moved into the RB2 role in New York behind star Jets back Breece Hall after Jets rusher Braelon Allen suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. However, Davis' workload remained highly limited, as he averaged just four touches per game on the year. Despite averaging a highly efficient 5.6 yards per carry over his first two NFL seasons, Davis has never been able to carve out a sizable role in the Jets' offense. With Hall and Allen both still ahead of him on the depth chart, Davis' outlook does not appear to be significantly different entering 2026. The third-year back remains a somewhat intriguing stash option in deep dynasty leagues, but dynasty managers in shallower league formats may have better uses for a roster spot
The New York Jets are prioritizing size on defense and at running back this offseason, with coach Aaron Glenn emphasizing the importance of larger players. Key additions include linebacker Demario Davis (32 pounds heavier than his predecessor Jamien Sherwood) and defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat. Running back Braelon Allen has also added weight, making him one of the largest RBs in the league
