Jamin Davis News
The Washington Commanders are declining the fifth-year contract option of linebacker Jamin Davis, according to a source. It's been heading this way for on and off-field reasons. The plan in 2024 is to have the athletically gifted Davis become a "hybrid" defender, which should translate to less pass coverage and more attempts to rush the quarterback. Davis played his rookie season in 2021 at Mike linebacker before moving to the off-ball role in the team's 4-2-5 base defense. According to Pro Football Focus, he tied for the highest yards per catch allowed (12.1) last year and ranked fourth-worst in average depth of target (5.5) because of his limited coverage instincts. The 25-year-old former 19th overall pick out of Kentucky has just seven sacks in his three seasons, but he could be more productive in that category if he's rushing the passer more in 2024.
The Washington Commanders placed linebacker Jamin Davis (shoulder) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and signed defensive end Joshua Pryor from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Davis hurt his shoulder in the Week 13 loss to the Miami Dolphins and will now have season-ending surgery. The 25-year-old former first-rounder is ranked as the No. 24 fantasy linebacker in IDP leagues thanks to 89 total tackles (50 solo), three sacks, an interception and two forced fumbles in his 13 games played in his third year in the NFL. It's a big loss for a Commanders defense that is short on playmakers down the stretch in 2023. Fantasy managers should be avoiding their defense/special teams unit at all costs in Week 15 as they face the Los Angeles Rams.
Washington Commanders linebacker Jamin Davis' reckless-driving case was moved to a jury trial on March 4 of next year. It means that Davis will not be suspended before the 2024 NFL season. The 24-year-old former first-round selection in 2021 out of Kentucky has underwhelmed so far in his first two NFL seasons, compiling 180 tackles (116 solo), four sacks, 12 tackles for loss, seven QB hits and two fumble recoveries in 32 games (23 starts) for the Commanders. However, he remains in a starting role for a pretty formidable Washington defense and is at least worth considering for linebacker depth in IDP fantasy formats.
