Thomas Davis Sr. Fantasy

The Washington Redskins and linebacker Thomas Davis have agreed to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Davis and head coach Ron Rivera worked together in Carolina, where the veteran linebacker had some of his best seasons as a professional. He turns 37 on March 22, but Davis proved his age was just a number in 2019 with the Chargers, racking up 112 tackles (65 solo), three tackles for loss, two QB hits, one sack and two passes defensed in all 16 games. Staying healthy will be key, but don't expect Davis to be a huge contributor in IDP leagues in Washington. The Redskins may choose to use him as a rotational player to keep him healthy.

The Washington Redskins could make a run at free-agent linebacker Thomas Davis after he was released by the Chargers on Friday. Davis played in Carolina for more than 10 years, including from 2011 to 2018 with Ron Rivera, the new head coach of the Redskins. While playing under Rivera, Davis made three Pro Bowls and was named an All-Pro in 2015. He'll turn 37 in a few weeks, but the veteran had 112 tackles with the Bolts in 2019 and would help Rivera establish the culture he wants in D.C. But if Davis doesn't decide to retire, don't be surprised if Washington at least brings him in for a visit. For fantasy purposes in IDP leagues, Davis will probably find it tough to match the production he had with LA last season.

The Los Angeles Chargers announced the release of linebacker Thomas Davis and defensive tackle Brandon Mebane on Friday. Davis had 112 tackles (65 solo) in his one and only season with the Bolts, and it was his highest tackle total since he had 123 (85 solo) in 2013 with the Panthers. The three-time Pro Bowler could still be productive with another team and could be a streaming IDP option if he continues his career in 2020. Mebane played four seasons with the Chargers and became one of just three nose tackles in the NFL with an interception and at least 450 career tackles.
