Marcus Davenport Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Marcus Davenport (ankle) is active ahead of Thursday's Week 2 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 27-year-old missed the season opener due to an ankle issue, but appears to be good now. Davenport was limited earlier in the week, but it doesn't sound like he'll be on a snap count during this game. It'll be his team debut after signing with the Vikings this offseason. The former first-rounder should be an immediate upgrade to this defensive unit.

The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent pass-rusher Marcus Davenport to a one-year deal worth $13 million on Monday, according to sources. Davenport will head to Minnesota after spending the first five seasons of his career with the New Orleans Saints. In that time, he amassed 142 tackles (78 solo), 21.5 sacks, 25 tackles for loss, 60 QB hits, four passes defensed, seven forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 63 games (32 starts). The 26-year-old will need to bounce back in 2023 after posting only half a sack for the Saints in 2022. Davenport had a career-high nine sacks the year prior in 2021.

New Orleans Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport was ejected for his role in a third-quarter scuffle during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. After discussion, the officials ruled that both Davenport and Panthers running back D'Onta Foreman should be disqualified from the contest. The former finishes Week 18 with three tackles. Carl Granderson should continue to see a large workload in Davenport's absence.
