Mike Davis, RB, Seattle Seahawks

FanDuel Price: $6,400
DraftKings Price: $4,100

The touches have been there for Mike Davis -- the latest lead back for the Seattle Seahawks -- notching at least 16 in three of the last four games.

However, the fantasy points haven't come along with it. Averaging an inefficient 3.3 yards per carry, in his five appearances this season, he's only hit double-digit points once (Week 13) and has failed to get in the end zone. Given his lack of production, it's difficult to see anything changing in a brutal matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, who rank third against the run by numberFire's schedule-adjusted metrics. To make matters worse, coach Pete Carroll has hinted that Thomas Rawls could get more carries this week, further dimming Davis' outlook.

Particularly with running back values opening up as teams rest their starters, there's little incentive in rolling with a low-ceiling option like Davis in Week 17.
