Israel Abanikanda Shines With 87 Scrimmage Yards In Preseason Victory
1 year agoNew York Jets running back Israel Abanikanda finished with 12 carries for 56 yards and three receptions for 31 yards in a 27-0 preseason win over the Carolina Panthers. The rookie checked in late in the first quarter and ultimately led all players in yards from scrimmage. Abanikanda will need to continue to make the most of his opportunities this preseason to earn meaningful snaps in 2023 as both Michael Carter and Zonovan Knight received touches before him on Saturday. Of course, all three are expected to take a backseat to Breece Hall (knee) when he returns from injury. Although the situation is worth monitoring, fantasy managers should not be targeting Abanikanda in drafts at this point.
