7 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 15
Mike Davis, RB, Seattle Seahawks
Mike Davis looks to have finally solved the Seattle Seahawks' running back issues, emerging as the lead back.
He has notched 16 and 15 carries, respectively, in his last two games, which were his first two full games of the season. His 73% share of the Seahawks' offensive snaps were the most any of their running backs have played all season.
While his dropoff to 47% snaps last week may look concerning on the surface, it's worth noting that the Hawks were playing from behind for much of that game, and Seattle's passing-down back J.D. McKissic got a lot of run because of it. Davis also left early with an under-reported injury, but he was able to get in a limited practice Wednesday.
Seattle is a 2.0-point favorite this week, so they aren't especially likely to get forced into a pass-heavy gameflow, making Davis a safe bet to see 15-plus touches again.
That kind of volume is always appealing at running back, and that is especially true against the Los Angeles Rams, who are allowing the league's most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs.
