M. Davis - RB

CAR

Panthers ruled RB Mike Davis (ankle) inactive for Week 17 against the Saints.

Trenton Cannon and Rodney Smith will likely split the bulk of the Panthers' backfield work. Carolina declared QB Will Grier, RB Christian McCaffrey, LT Russell Okung, DE Brian Burns, DT Woodrow Hamilton and DB Natrell Jamerson inactive for the game.

M. Davis - RB

CAR

Mike Davis (ankle) is out for Week 17 against the Saints.

With Christian McCaffrey (quad) also out, it'll be Rodney Smith, special teamer Trenton Cannon, FB Alex Armah, and likely even Curtis Samuel in the Panthers' backfield against New Orleans. A late-round fantasy gem thanks to McCaffrey's list of injuries this season, Davis was a league-winner with a 165-642-6 rushing line and 59-373-2 as a receiver, topping 1,000 total yards in a career year for the soon-to-be 28-year-old (in February). Davis will be a free agent in March and likely hopes to land a role as a 1A or 1B in someone's backfield.

CAR

Mike Davis rushed 14 times for 28 yards and one score in Carolina's Week 16 win against Washington.

Davis teared up when speaking to media postgame since he achieved a personal milestone of 1,000 yards from scrimmage in Sunday's win. Curtis Samuel actually finished as the team's leading rusher due to his 45-yard burst up the sideline, but Davis still reached 642 rushing yards for the season — his previous high was 728 yards from scrimmage for Seattle in 2018 when he ran for 514 and added 214 receiving yards. Although Rodney Smith was again involved for seven carries, Davis will continue to put a bow on his sterling season off the bench in the team's regular season finale against New Orleans.

M. Davis - RB

CAR

Mike Davis rushed 14 times for 59 yards, catching both targets for two yards in the Panthers' Week 15 loss to the Packers.

Every week feels like the last start for Davis, but Christian McCaffrey continues to be sidelined. Still, coach Matt Rhule has declined to say that McCaffrey will miss the remainder of the season, meaning he potentially could reclaim the lead back role in Week 16 against Washington.

M. Davis - RB

CAR

Mike Davis rushed 11 times for 51 yards and two touchdowns, catching 5-of-6 targets for 42 yards in the Panthers' Week 14 loss to the Broncos.

This is early-season Davis production from Christian McCaffrey's fill-in. Davis dominated the backfield touches in this game, with no other running back handling more than four, and handled the high value carries inside the 10-yard line. With D.J. Moore sidelined, it is no surprise that Davis was third on the team with six targets. McCaffrey's status still remains week-to-week, but if CMC is active against Packers then Davis cannot be in your fantasy lineup.

M. Davis - RB

CAR

Mike Davis rushed 15 times for 55 yards and caught 3-of-6 targets for 24 yards in the Panthers' Week 12 loss to the Vikings.

Davis has been hot-and-cold in his eight games as the lead back with Christian McCaffrey sidelined. He averaged out to a high-end RB2 in those starts, although he was a disappointment throughout November. Davis proved that he can run between the tackles in a pinch, but expect Christian McCaffrey to handle his monster workload coming out of the Week 13 bye. Davis will be an insurance-only bench hold moving forward.

M. Davis - RB

CAR

Mike Davis rushed 19 times for 64 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Lions.

He caught both his targets in the pass game for 15 yards. Davis was the Panthers' workhorse again this week with Christian McCaffrey sidelined. He averaged only 3.4 YPC and scored his touchdown on a one-yard goal-line conversion, but it was a solid rebound after Davis had 44 total yards in an injury-shortened Week 10. It's possible the Panthers get McCaffrey back from his shoulder injury next week. If not, Davis will remain a plug-in RB2.

M. Davis - RB

CAR

Mike Davis rushed seven times for 32 yards in the Panthers' Week 10 loss to the Bucs, adding four catches for 12 yards.

Davis left in the second half with a thumb injury, but returned after X-rays were negative. During his early starts, Davis had eight or so targets baked into his projection. Those have decreased in recent weeks, as the last five games have totaled 21 targets. Christian McCaffrey is a possibility to return in Week 11, but if the Panthers play it safe Davis can still be considered a top 15 option against the Lions.

Mike Davis (thumb) returned to the Panthers' Week 10 game against the Bucs.

Davis missed a quarter of action, first in the locker room getting X-rays then on the sideline with trainers taping his finger. He then returned to the backfrield near the goal line in the 4th quarter.

Panthers RB Mike Davis exited to the locker room with an apparent wrist injury during Week 10's game against the Bucs.

Davis exited in the middle of the 3rd quarter and could be on his way for X-rays. Prior to leaving, Davis handled six carries for 31 yards and caught 3-of-4 targets for eight yards. He has not been given an injury status for the rest of the game at this time.

M. Davis - RB

CAR

Mike Davis rushed once for three yards and caught 5-of-6 targets for 34 yards in the Panthers' Week 9 loss to the Chiefs.

Despite rumors of a rotation, Davis was a very clear backup to Christian McCaffrey, who handled 18 carries and 10 targets in his return from a high-ankle sprain. Davis' fantasy value is completely tied to McCaffrey's health. If possible, Davis is a quality bench hold now that it's established that Davis could flirt with RB1 numbers if McCaffrey were to miss time again.

C. McCaffrey - RB

CAR

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Panthers RBs Christian McCaffrey and Mike Davis will "rotate series" in Week 9 against the Chiefs.

Rapoport says the rotation is "to keep both of them fresh." The Panthers gave McCaffrey a $64 million contract in the offseason so it's reasonable to expect that to protect their investment in his first game back from a knee injury that sent him to injured reserve. This puts Mike Davis into the conversation at FLEX but he remains a low-ceiling/low-floor option even in PPR leagues. McCaffrey may split work with him this week but he should return to his 2019 role in short order.

Philippe Myers has been put on the injured reserve list.

No real surprise there. This move can be retroactive to Jan. 19, so Myers will be available to be activated whenever he's healthy. That said, he's week-to-week so he's probably not going to be back in the lineup anytime soon.

W. Carter - C

CHI

An MRI confirmed a severe right quad contusion for Wendell Carter Jr. and he will be re-evaluated in four weeks.

Daniel Gafford and Thaddeus Young will be the primary beneficiaries while WCJ is out, with Young being the better add in standard formats and Gafford being on the radar as a potential pickup in 16-team settings. Carter Jr. was starting to round the corner after an extremely slow start, so this is unfortunate timing. He's only been a late-round guy on the year, so if you don't have an IR spot available for him, he's not necessarily a hold in shallower formats.
