  Vikings | Vikings work out Mike Davis    Wed Aug 16, 02:45 AM

Free-agent RB Mike Davis (Ravens) worked out for the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, Aug. 15.

Footballguys view: Davis is a seasoned veteran who has been with quite a few teams in his pro career. He's a two-down banger who can soften up a defense inside, but Davis has only averaged over 4.0 yards per carry once in his career and that was all the way back in 2018 when he was with the Seahawks. The Vikings are likely just updating their emergency backup list.

  Ravens | Mike Davis misses another practice    Wed Aug 24, 03:18 PM

Baltimore Ravens RB Mike Davis (personal) was excused from practice Wednesday, Aug. 24.

Footballguys view: Davis could be in line for plenty of work to begin the regular season. It looks like J.K. Dobbins will be ready for Week 1, but the Ravens might ease him back into action and get Davis some reps as a complementary back.

  Ravens | Mike Davis contract update    Wed May 11, 12:16 PM

Baltimore Ravens RB Mike Davis signed a veteran salary benefit deal that will pay him $1.2 million over one year, with a signing bonus of $152,500.

Footballguys view: Davis wasn't out on the open market for that long (about a week), and the Ravens are a great landing spot for the veteran power back. He'll get plenty of work in the offseason with both JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards recovering from the ACL injuries they suffered in 2021.

  Ravens | Mike Davis agrees with Ravens    Tue May 10, 09:48 AM

Free-agent RB Mike Davis (Falcons) agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Baltimore Ravens Tuesday, May 10.

Footballguys view: That makes sense for both sides. The Ravens were looking into adding Melvin Gordon, but he chose to stay with the Broncos. Davis, released by the Falcons just a week ago, finds a new home where he could have a sizeable role early in the season. The Ravens are getting both JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards back from knee injuries that cost them the entire 2021 season. Both Dobbins and Edwards could begin training camp on the PUP list. That means Davis could get plenty of practice reps as the Ravens prepare for the regular season.

  Falcons | Mike Davis released    Mon May 2, 12:30 PM

Atlanta Falcons RB Mike Davis was released Monday, May 2.

Footballguys view: The Falcons added BYU running back Tyler Allgeier in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL draft, and he brings plenty of power to the field. The rookie will mix in with Cordarrelle Patterson and free agent addition Damien Williams to construct the Falcons backfield. Add in the Falcons salary cap woes, and you can see why this move was a cost-cutting one. Davis provides veteran experience and three-down ability which should get him some interest on the open market.

Atlanta Falcons RB Mike Davis rushed for 49 yards on 15 carries against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1. He also caught three passes for 23 yards during the game.

Footballguys view: Davis ran well early in the game, but the Eagles put the clamps on the Falcons running game as the contest went on. He'll likely be a non-factor against the Bucs next week and might not be startable if the Falcons offense doesn't build momentum soon.

  Falcons | Cordarrelle Patterson the primary backup RB?    Tue Sep 7, 03:22 PM

Atlanta Falcons RB/WR Cordarrelle Patterson is listed as the team's official Week 1 depth chart as the second-string running back behind Mike Davis and ahead of Wayne Gallman.

Footballguys view: Keep this in mind in case Davis is banged up. Patterson is a strong runner who could have an opportunity to do more with the Falcons. Gallman has proven to be a good reserve runner as well, and the Falcons would likely use a RBBC if Davis is hurt.

  Falcons | Mike Davis difficult to corral    Sun Jun 27, 11:27 PM

Atlanta Falcons RB Mike Davis broke a tackle once every 7.9 rushing attempts in 2020 as a member of the Carolina Panthers - the best rate among all qualified running backs - according to Pro Football Reference.

Footballguys view: Mike Davis has always been a strong runner. Dating back to his days in college at South Carolina, Davis breaks tackles regularly. He filled in nicely for an injured Christian McCaffrey last season and gets a shot as the lead back for the Falcons this year. Davis could post career-best numbers as a rusher this season with that role, but he may not be able to match the 59 catches he had in 2020. Projecting him as a low-end RB2/flex option feels right.

  Falcons | No guarantees in Atlanta backfield    Mon May 10, 07:22 PM

Atlanta Falcons RBs Mike Davis, Javian Hawkins, Caleb Huntley and Qadree Ollison are all expected to compete for touches in the backfield in 2021, according to comments made by running backs coach Desmond Kitchings. According to Tori McElhaney of The Athletic, Kitchens noted how competitive the running back group will be and that 'the door is wide open' for anyone to take over.

Footballguys view: Davis has the experience and could come out on top but that's not a guarantee. We'll have to see how this competition shakes out during training camp. Davis (the first Falcons RB getting drafted) has a current ADP of RB35 (7.12) in 12-team PPR leagues.

  Falcons | Mike Davis agrees with ATL    Tue Mar 23, 08:27 AM

Free-agent RB Mike Davis (Panthers) agreed to a two-year, $5.5 million contract with the Atlanta Falcons Tuesday, March 23. He'll receive $3 million fully guaranteed in 2021.

Footballguys view: Davis steps in as the no.1 running back for the Falcons...but we expect the team to add more talent to the room in the 2021 NFL draft. He's a good all-around back who can bang it between the tackles or be a reliable receiver out of the backfield. Davis is a natural and powerful runner who can carry a large workload. Expect the Falcons to address the running back position with a premium pick (likely round 2) in the draft which adds competition to what should be a more balanced offense in 2021.

Footballguys view: Davis converted in the red zone and was involved in the passing game, reminding Christian McCaffrey teams what they missed with him on the sidelines this week. Expect to be able to plug Davis in as an RB2 against the Packers on Saturday.

Carolina Panthers RB Mike Davis rushed for 64 yards and one touchdown on 19 carries against the Detroit Lions in Week 11. He also caught two passes for 15 yards during the game.

Footballguys view: PJ Walker was better than expected and Davis came through as a solid RB2 play against the Lions. He wasn't very involved in the passing game, so Davis fantasy teams should welcome Teddy Bridgewater back if he can start against Minnesota next week.
