Marcus Davenport

Things are starting to come together for the second year DE in New Orleans. Davenport is averaging 50 snaps per game and racked up his first sack of the season last week against the Rams. He has been credited with two quarterback hurries as well as two quarterback hits. The Seahawks are generous in handing out fantasy production to the defensive line position. They have allowed 36 total tackles along with 5.5 sacks to the position. Look for the sack streak to hit two games in a row for Davenport.

Marcus Davenport quite in Week 12 win returning from toe injury

New Orleans first-round rookie defensive end Marcus Davenport wasn't a big part of the dominating win by the defensive unit over Atlanta on Thanksgiving night. The rookie was returning from a toe injury that kept him sidelined for some time. He managed one recorded tackle on a night the feasting was plentiful.

Fantasy Impact

New Orleans likely didn't see it necessary to insert Davenport into the heavy defensive line rotation and risking a set back with his toe injury this contest. Davenport has demonstrated a high motor as well as displaying a knack for getting at the quarterback when a part of the squad. His IDP owners should consider him a strong IDP play once the coaching staff feels he is ready to resume his role as a full-time player.
