6 DraftKings Bargains for Week 15

Mike Davis, RB, Seattle Seahawks

DraftKings Price: $4,000

The running back situation in for the Seattle Seahawks has been so chaotic that it has been hard to track where the carries have been going on a regular basis. Injuries, inconsistency, and a whole other slew of issues have plagued the situation. However, the Seahawks have finally found a seemingly reliable option in Mike Davis.

Waived before the season, Davis was called up from the practice squad in Week 11 only to injure himself and miss Week 12. Once that roller coaster was finished, he settled into the lead-back role in Week 13 and does not look like he'll be giving it away any time soon. He has rushed for at least 64 yards against the Eagles and Jaguars (the 'Hawks had not had a 60-yard rusher since Chris Carson in Week 2). More importantly, he was responsible for 31 of the team's 37 running back totes in those games.

This week he faces a Los Angeles Rams defense that has been a gift to opposing backs all season. They rank 30th this season against the position in DraftKings points per game. Although they've been better of late, they are still 23rd against the position over the past five weeks. We have Davis projected at 11.1 points and the second-highest return on value this week, according to our models.

There is a some concern about Davis' health after he exited early in Week 14. He got in a limited practice Wednesday, so monitor his health the rest of the week.
