Mike Davis

When the Bears signed Davis, it appeared he was taking over the Jordan Howard role in the offense. That was until they moved up in the third-round and drafted workhorse David Montgomery. The Bears were lacking depth behind Howard and Tarik Cohen last year, and although Davis is high-priced depth, it's hard to imagine him getting more than 5-8 touches per game with Montgomery and Cohen healthy. He is, however, one of the better handcuffs, as he's a capable three-down back who'd walk into RB2 production with an injury in front of him.

Fantasy Impact

Davis joins a Bears' team that has several questions remaining at RB. Chicago was rumored to be in the market for one of the higher-priced free agents, but Davis allows them flexibility this offseason. Jordan Howard could remain in town following Davis' signing, and the team could also target an RB early in the 2019 NFL Draft. Davis showed that he can be fantasy relevant if given a large enough role, including a 21-carry, 101-yard, two-TD game against the Cardinals in 2018. However, he was expendable in Seattle with the emergence of Chris Carson and former first-rounder Rashaad Penny.
