According to head coach Matt Rhule, Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis (ankle) will not play in Week 17's game against the New Orleans Saints.
Davis will not play on Sunday despite his official doubtful designation. Expect Rodney Smith and Trenton Cannon to play increased roles against a Saints' defense ranked first in fantasy points allowed to running backs.
Smith's current projection includes 13.0 rushing attempts for 52.6 yards and 2.0 receptions for 13.7 yards.
