Time to be worried..Dom Davis (2 Viewers)

[Marc Levin]

cool.... bet you a sig he finishes with RB1 numbers (RB12+)

You obviously don't know me if you think I bet against DD.Go look at where I have him ranked:

http://footballguys.com/viewrankings.php?v...ent=7&sortby=52

Wimer and I have him ranked highest of all the staff.

The rankings appear to be screwed up. Only the two of you have him ranked 6th, yet his overall ranking is 6th even though his average ranking is 12.8. The RB as a whole seem to be messed up. Alexander is ranked higher than Larry Johnson although only 2-3 people have Johnson ranked lower than SA.

DD is 16th overall according to the "current" rankings with an average of 17.2. He is 6th overall on MY overall list.

Didn't realize that the link had the rankings sorted by your rankings . . .

Here's one guy hoping Levin's rankings are on the money!

I think EBF and I have run over DD's pros and cons WAY more often and in WAY more depth than needs to be repeated here.

Indeed, if they weren't pruned I can remember many a conversation over Davis in the past two years. It ultimately boils down to a discussion of talent vs. situation. Detractors think Davis has no talent and only has a good situation and will be replaced at some point. Supporters think he has some talent and is in a great situation and that he plays well enough to keep any competition off the field.Two years ago we were hearing how Hollings would push Davis to the bench. Last year it was Morrency (who by all accounts is now running as the 3rd string behind an ancient Antowain Smith.) Then it was Bush who the Texans eventually passed on.

I personally think DD's injury difficulties were a result of overuse by the prior coaching staff and the fact that there was virtually no respect for the passing game what-so-ever allowing defenses to key in on Davis.

Bottom line? He's a decent player, but that I'd never draft him over someone like Anquan Boldin, Hines Ward, or Torry Holt in a dynasty league. Those guys are among the best at their position. I can't say the same about DD.

Here's where I don't agree with you. In terms of FANTASY football, Davis IS one of the best at his position. I don't feel like looking up all the numbers again, but since taking over as a starter Davis ranked in the Top 6 or 7 in PPG at RB. even in total fantasy points over the past 3 years he ranked 8th.In that same timeframe, Boldin ranked 11th the past 3 years in total fantasy points by WR and Ward ranked 8th. If you feel that those guys are better options, so be it, but IMO that does not make Davis any less of a fantasy producer.

I agree. Here's my point:- An average player will not keep a starting job in the NFL (regardless of his fantasy football production). Last year Kerry Collins was one of the better QBs in the league in terms of fantasy points per game. However, he wasn't a good enough NFL player to keep his job.

The risk with Davis is not that he won't produce if given touches, but rather that he won't be given touches.

Injury aside, if he were so average as an NFL player, why did they give him a large, multi-year contract and opt to pass on drafting one of the most electric players at his position?
