BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~45 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~54
ANALYSIS: I don't think I'm introducing you to anything new in Mike Davis by now, but here we are. Backing up Christian McCaffrey for a large part of the 2020 season, Davis was insanely productive, and that allowed him to finish the year as an RB1 when the season was over. Davis racked up 206.5 PPR points in 15 games for an average of 13.8 FPPG, yet he didn't feature heavily in five of those 15 matches.
Davis, now a Falcon, is part of an offense that recently lost WR Julio Jones and has no more viable options in its backfield while only having added TE Kyle Pitts to the receiving corps. Yes, it took Davis six years to score more than 137 fantasy points in a single season, but he was sublime in 2020, getting to 642 rushing yards and an even more impressive 373 receiving yards to go with six and two touchdowns respectively.
The ADP is kind of low because Davis couldn't sustain his mighty levels of play in the first six weeks of the season (barring Week 1), alternating finishes in all of the RB1/2/3 realms throughout the rest of the year. That being said, though, his role will clearly be the one of a backfield leader and he's proved more than capable to do it on both the ground and through his pass-catching prowess. Bargain with upside for a high-end RB2 finish getting off draft boards below an RB2 price.
