Jarrad Davis Fantasy

The New York Giants placed linebacker Jarrad Davis (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, ending his 2023 season before it even started. It's a tough break for Davis, who injured his knee during organized team activities this spring. The 27-year-old was a former first-round selection by the Detroit Lions back in 2017 and was expected to compete for a depth role at inside linebacker for the Giants this summer in training camp. Injuries have limited him to just 13 games in the last two seasons with the Giants, Lions and New York Jets. Davis played in only four games in 2022 and finished with 14 tackles (seven solo) and half a sack with the Lions and Giants.

New York Giants inside linebacker Jarrad Davis (undisclosed) is out indefinitely after having undisclosed surgery. It's a hit to the team's depth at the position that is already lacking experience next to Bobby Okereke and Darrian Beavers. Davis surely isn't going to be ready for the start of training camp in a couple of weeks, and it will probably be a stretch for him to be ready for the start of the regular season, too. With the 27-year-old now on the mend, it's going to open up an opportunity for more playing time early on for Carter Coughlin. Davis, a former first-rounder in 2017, played in just four games (one start) last year for the Detroit Lions and Giants, tallying 14 tackles (seven solo) and half a sack.

Free-agent linebacker Jarrad Davis, formerly of the New York Jets, is heading back to Detroit, inking a one-year deal on Friday. The 27-year-old will now return to the team that selected him with the 21st overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, where he spent his first four seasons. Nonetheless, Davis isn't expected to contribute much on the fantasy end, primarily since he's only had 10.5 sacks throughout his career. However, the veteran is someone IDP managers should watch, especially if he starts living up to his first-round potential.
