I got him with a pretty high bid (around 35%) in a league where I have CMC and am in a closing win-now window. I can see him having good ppr value. The Panthers are going to be behind a lot and the garbage time targets he got last week seem a probable game script (in addition to any passing game role that the offense affords).

Yeah he went for the max in every one of mine, except one he went for $35 for some reason. I bid out about 60% in each league, other than the one I own CMC (100% easy decision), naturally not this league though.

Anyone made a trade or have a thought on Davis’s value in redraft. I’m seeking someone who can carry me for a few weeks while Ekeler and Sanders heal, and I’m wondering if a good stop gap might be Davis. If an owner has some running back depth and knows CMC is coming back he might be able to be had inexpensively.

Good luck. He’s been like a top 5 rb since CMC went down and we know clue if/when CMC returns and what type of condition he will be in if he does return. With all the injuries to RBs this year, I imagine it will take a King’s ransom to get him.

McCaffrey back at practice but a long shot to play week 8

I mean I'd hold if I had him, if you can, just knowing he can produce if given the chance. I'd pay a bit for Davis as a CMC owner but from the sounds of it, maybe the Davis owner will drop him.xenon said:

I don't know the statistics for this but it is pretty common for a player with a HAS to not quite be themselves for the first few games after their recovery and there is a risk of cascade injuries if the player plays too soon.xenon said:
I think they have been very cautious with CMC. He was pushing to be back sooner than this, they didn't let him because of the risks. I think when CMC plays he will be fully recovered and I am not too worried about it. He is well past the 6-8 week recovery period now.
As far as if you should keep Mike Davis on your roster that depends on a lot of things like roster size and so on. Obviously Mike Davis is a fine player and I am glad he finally got the opportunity to show it.
A couple of weeks ago would have been a great time to sell Mike Davis but not so much anymore.

He's just coming up on the 6-week mark (injured at the end of week 2). Although the recovery time I saw earlier was 4-6 weeks, so he WILL be past that by the time week 9 rolls around.
Don't disagree with anything else, though.

HOLD - HOLD - HOLD
I think MIKE DAVIS is a definite hold, but not *only* for that reason..... it may be a few more factors at play here.
Its looking like the Panthers aren't going to be making any type of playoff run, I think they currently sit at 3-5. I believe they play the KC CHIEFS later today, and then they play the TB BUCS next week. They most assuredly will lose one of these, if not both. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say in about 2-3 weeks, they are going to start to chalk this up as a lost season. They may not state everything publicly this early on, but once a few more losses come along....other, more long term issues are looked at a bit more carefully.
They just paid CMC a sizeable $64 million dollar contract in the offseason no? You may see where I am going with this. I am by no means saying they will take him off the field completely if he is healthy, but I can't take that entirely out of the equation either.
I envision him being extremely limited , or the team saying they might give him "maintenance weeks" or however they want to dress that up. It is not out of the realm of possibilities that in several weeks they will just ride Mike Davis rest-of-season and "protect their long term investment" in CMC.
I can't say for sure that is what's going to happen, but I am clutching MIKE DAVIS tightly in the 3 of 4 redraft leagues I own him in. There is no way I am going to just cut him loose at this point.
Oh, by the way........ There is always a risk of re-injury as well. High ankle sprains are notorious for lingering. I had one several years back, and it was several months before I felt about 95% again.
All things considered, this looks like a DEFINITE MUST HOLD scenario, and basically just see what develops. I know he is playing against GB AND WASHINGTON in weeks 15 and 16, and I'd prefer to have that on MY bench than giving that possibility to another team.
Unless something crazy happens, I am holding him everywhere.
In fact, I wouldn't fault anyone for trading for him on the cheap, just in case it unfolds exactly like this.

With CMC doubtful, how are people feeling about the match-up against Tampa this week? I am leery of rolling him out (in a flex spot) for the following reasons:
- His volume in the passing game has declined at the same time that Curtis Samuel's share of touches has increased. My initial impression is that Davis is touchdown-dependent entering Sunday's game.
- Tampa bottled up Kamara fairly well on Sunday night, despite the rest of the debacle taking place
- Tampa's defense has performed at a high level all season outside of the games against the Saints
Would be curious to know if people agree with this logic or have a different take.

Agree as well. Looking like my choice will be Davis, Hunt or Mixon/Bernard. No PPR so will go Hunt if Chubb is out. If Chubb is out probably go Davis.

That was not a great output for my recently acquired toy.
Assuming his wrist is okay, looks like he’ll get another shot with mccaffrey likely out another week.

Dislocated finger. He came back in which bodes well, but who knows how it feels days after game adrenaline wears off. Not sure which hand.
The left thumb was taped and hand was gloved per the injury thread. He's probably a rightie, odds are anyway.
Thats what I thought but hadn't heard anything. Wtih Cmac likely out hoping that the "odds are" he does play and with no issues. Thanks

People are expecting CMC back next week but no concrete information and nobody knows for sure.

Sure, but where in the draft? They only have one pick at the top of each round until 2 comps at the end of Round 5. How high a priority can an additional RB be in their grand scheme?
Faust
MVP
I think that the top of round 2 is very feasible if one of Najee Harris, Travis Etienne, or Javonte Williams is available with that pick. The Falcons have also been mentioned as a possible candidate for trading down with their first round pick, so if that scenario was to unfold, then adding a running back with one of the picks acquired could also be on the table.

I was going to say what Faust did. I don’t know what the grand scheme is for the new staff. I know the coach’s history says he sure loves to run the ball though. Maybe that was just a byproduct of having Henry but it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see the new staff prioritize a RB at the top of round 2.

Very, very disappointed Mike Davis did not wind up on the WFTskins, especially at that price. Would have been a perfect compliment to Gibson/McKissic.

Just because Smith ran in Tennessee (with Henry) does not mean he will focus on run as a head coach. Davis and Gurley can be fine in a pass centric offense and Ryan and his receivers are suited for a stronger role.
Faust

Todd Gurley is a free agent and so far the Falcons have shown zero interest in bringing him back.

I still think that the Falcons could go with a BPA pick in round 2 which would not preclude taking a RB; however, Chad Forbes is right in that they need to upgrade the defense in a big way.
