Don't overlook Knile Davis

Don’t overlook Knile Davis

The season-ending tear to Jamaal Charles’ right ACL made Charcandrick West a hot pickup on the waiver wires this past week, and rightly so. West is the heir-apparent to the RB starting gig in Kansas City now that Charles is out of the picture. I myself put in the token effort to add him to my lineup on the off-chance that the bottom-dwellers of the league were ignorant of the situation, but of course he was long gone by the time my fantasy team reached the front of the waiver wire queue. But as desirable as the situation looks for West, the number of carries moving forward between him and Knile Davis is up for debate.

Based on recent workloads, it appears that Davis has fallen out of favor with the coaches. He rushed the rock only twice last week for a paltry two yards. West, meanwhile, saw the majority of carries behind Charles. But who’s to say that that will be the case moving forward? Davis is the bigger back so may be given the short yardage love. Davis is also more likely to hold up to the wear and tear of being an every-down back. And even if West is given the role of feature back, he is not the same caliber back as Jamaal Charles. The most probable scenario is that both backs split the workload resulting in uninspiring statistics for either.

My take? Moderate your expectations of Charcandrick West. There is some upside, but it’s not likely he’ll put up Jamaal Charles-like numbers. More importantly, don’t overlook Knile Davis. He’ll be more involved in the running game than most expect, and may be featured in goal line situations. His role with the Chiefs may be as big as or bigger than West’s.

Just a quick shout out to those fantasy football fanatics out there looking for some tight end help.  Chances are the Jags’ Julius Thomas is available in your league.  Add him to your roster now.

Thomas has been out with a hand/finger injury since the start of the season, but may see the field in a limited fashion beginning this weekend.  Expect him to be fully integrated into the starting lineup starting in week six moving forward.  He will be no slouch.

The Jaguars’ QB Blake Bortles has greatly improved over last season and has quietly thrown for 969 yards and six touchdowns through the first four weeks of the 2015 season.  Adding a tight end of Thomas’s caliber will only help those numbers, and potentially make Thomas a top-10 tight end for the remainder of the season.

Bring Thomas into your fantasy football fold now.  You won’t regret it!

Developing a process to efficiently generate fantasy football cheatsheets on a weekly basis turned out to be more challenging than anticipated, and it pushed back my other projects, but I am happy to report to those that have been asking, I’m back to publishing the Printable Standings on a regular basis.  Moving forward, the Printable Standings will be published each Tuesday and Friday.  There’s just something eye-catching about all of those NFL colors side-by-side!

I will also be doing something new this year.  Alongside the Printable Standings, I will also be publishing an image of the standings in Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format.  This image is saved with a 4096 x 3072 pixel resolution (4:3 aspect ratio) – perfect for displaying on your computer’s desktop background/wallpaper.  I might be biased, but I think it looks pretty dang cool!
