In just his second game in a Seahawks uniform, running back Mike Davis dominated the Seattle Seahawks backfield in Week 13. Davis rushed 16 times for 64 yards and caught four passes for 37 yards in the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Davis took 45 of the Seahawks 62 offensive snaps Sunday. All the other Seahawks rushers played less than 10 snaps. Davis is the first Seahawks rusher to gain 100 total yards since rookie Chris Carson in Week 2.
Fantasy football Week 14: Start or sit Mike Davis?

The Seahawks hope Davis can keep his momentum going against the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday. The Jaguars allow a lot of rushing yards to RBs; however, they’ve only given up five rushing touchdowns to the position this season. Jacksonville is much tighter on pass-catching backs, allowing the ninth-fewest receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns so far this year.
Fantasy impact: Davis was buried on the San Francisco 49ers roster a month ago. Now, he is a fantasy sleeper, mainly because the Seahawks are really desperate to get QB Russell Wilson some help on the offense. Davis played really well against the best rushing defense in the league in Week 13. Jacksonville is much softer versus the run. It will be a big risk for the playoffs, but Davis has a lot of flex appeal Sunday.
