The Seattle Seahawks have had a rotating cast at running back for much of the year, with few of them being effective. Eddie Lacy and Thomas Rawls both fell out of favor, while Chris Carson showed promise before breaking his ankle.
Fantasy football start/sit Week 15: What ro do with Mike Davis

Eventually, the team turned to Mike Davis, who’s been a fine starter, even with his own injury problems. He came back from a groin injury in Week 13 to rack up 101 total yards on 20 touches, then had 65 total yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. However, Davis also left that game with a rib injury although he should be ready to go this week.
Fantasy impact: It’ll be all hands on deck for the Seahawks as they face the Los Angeles Rams, with the NFC West title potentially on the line. If Davis doesn’t have any setbacks, he’ll get the start and should play a prominent role in the offense. The Rams defense is tough, but it’s giving up the second-most fantasy points to running backs. Davis will be a risk-reward flex play for the fantasy playoffs.
Recommendation: Start
