2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Commanders took a risk back in 2021, selecting Davis in the first round after he had just one season as a full-time starter in college but put up incredible numbers at the combine. His 4.47 speed and 42-inch vertical jump haven't been much use in the pros, with Davis struggling both in pass coverage and against the run. He's been better as a blitzer, but now he's looking at a big reduction in snap count after the Commanders signed LBs Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu this offseason. Davis doesn't figure to get much playing time in nickel packages if Wagner and Luvu are healthy. Read Past Outlooks
Not playing Sunday
Davis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis has started in 28 games for the Commanders over the last two seasons, but he did not start in Week 1 against the Buccaneers and he finished the contest with three tackles (two solo) while playing just 16 snaps (13 on defense, three on special teams). With Washington going to a 3-4 scheme under head coach Dan Quinn, Davis doesn't appear to have an established role in the defense to start the regular season. The 2021 first-round pick's next chance to suit up is Week 3 against the Bengals on Sept. 23.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Washington took Davis 19th overall in the 2021 Draft after he ran a 4.47 40 at the Kentucky Pro Day at 234 pounds (he also had a 132-inch broad jump and 42-inch vertical). He took on a 59 percent snap share as a rookie and went up to 85 percent last season, mostly playing alongside Cole Holcomb, who now is with the Steelers after averaging 9.2 tackles per game his final two years in Washington. Davis averaged 7.9 tackles after Holcomb's season-ending injury Week 7 of 2022, and further progress could be coming this year as the 24-year-old continues to handle the green dot and an every-down role.
