Knile Davis-RB-Kansas City Chiefs (23.9%)

Davis has long been Jamaal Charles designated handcuff, but now it appears that West will get more of the workload.  Davis is still worth owning in most leagues, though, given West’s lack of experience and coach Andy Reid’s promise to use both backs.

So far this season in limited action, Davis has 11 carries for 27 yards and a touchdown.  He only got two carries after Charles left with his injury on Sunday, but he will be worked in moving forward.

Davis isn’t as good an option to plug and play as West, but if you’re further down on the waiver wire claim list, he makes a decent grab-and-stash to see how things play out moving forward.  If Davis is able to claim the feature-back job outright in the coming weeks, he would be an RB2 consideration as well.

Next: Theo Riddick
