Demario Davis

[Guest cooby]

Guys, I am in a keeper league. What do you think of Demario Davis?

[Vic Sage]

i don't know the scoring in your fantasy league, but as a player, i think Davis had a career year and I wouldn't bet a lot on the likelihood that he'll duplicate it.

Defensive players are given good scoring. He is listed in our stats as the #4 Defensive player in our league. For whatever reason, we didn't see very many Jets games this year so I have to go by your advice

Thanks Vic

Edit and looking at his stats I see what you mean

Guess I could have put this in the Jets thread but I wanted it to be seen. Now it won't

here's a really good article that analyzes what his number this year were likely based on and his potential value next season:

That is an excellent article!

And check this out:

As a sidenote, I think these things play into why so many free agents fail after signing in new places. The players move to new roles in new systems. They leave the coaches who knew how to use them properly and are given different jobs they might not be able to handle.

Awesome insight

it really all depends on your scoring system. tackles arent the best indicator of skill, but if a guy starts at middle linebacker - particularly as the beefier of the two in a 3-4 system - he is going to accumulate lots of tackles.

yeah, I did not keep him. Looking into his yearly stats, I could see that last year was excellent but there had to be a reason for it. Hope he still does okay, but unless I redraft him, it won't be for me
