Mike Davis Fantasy

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis handled 18 total touches, producing 79 scrimmage yards in a narrow loss to the Vikings. This was likely Davis' last game as the Panthers lead back- and it was a disappointing one. The veteran back averaged just 3.7 yards per carry as he failed to find much running room against a beatable Vikings Defense, though the day was at least somewhat respectable in PPR formats. It might be worth holding onto Davis, particularly for fantasy managers who have Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) rostered, just in case the latter is more injured than the team is letting on. Still, McCaffrey should be back in the lineup following the team's Week 13 bye, returning Davis to his role as the second back.

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis is likely to get another start as the team's lead back in Week 12 against Minnesota. With Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) on the wrong side of questionable, look for Davis to see around 15 to 20 touches against the Vikings, who rank 24th against the run. The Panthers clearly have no problem with Davis as their lead runner, so fantasy managers should go back to the veteran one more time. He's a solid RB2 option, though he has a safer floor in PPR formats.

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis compiled 19 rushes for 64 yards and a score along with two receptions for 15 yards on two targets in Week 11. Davis continued to fill in as the RB1 while Christian McCaffrey recovers from a shoulder injury. If McCaffrey returns, then Davis is no longer fantasy relevant. If the star RB cannot play, Davis should remain in the starting tier due to volume. Nevertheless, the backup RB has not rushed for more than 66 yards since Week 5.
