Davis was released by the Falcons on Tuesday, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Davis' offensive skills aren't as intriguing as his kick and punt return abilities. The 28-year-old hasn't played since the 2019 season when he logged 506 yards on 23 kick returns.
Aug 31, 2021 6:25 PM EST
Davis was signed by the Falcons on Thursday.
Analysis: Atlanta placed TE Jaeden Graham on the reserve/injured list in a corresponding move. Davis will look to get up to speed before the Aug. 13 preseason opener against the Titans. He has 16 catches for 205 yards and a touchdown in his NFL career.
Aug 5, 2021 6:44 PM EST
Washington released Davis on Monday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Davis spent time on Washington's practice squad last season, but he didn't ultimately suit up for a game with the team. Back in 2019, Davis appeared in contests for the Packers, Dolphins and Raiders.
May 3, 2021 2:00 PM EST
Washington signed Davis to a reserve/future contract on Monday/
Analysis: After spending the last few months on Washington's practice squad, Davis has earned a spot on the roster. The 27-year-old has various experience as a returner, which he will likely continue to do with Washington.
Jan 11, 2021 4:49 PM EST
Davis signed to Washington's practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: The 27-year-old spent training camp in Chicago and had a workout in Houston before finally latching on with Washington. Davis appeared in 14 games between the Packers, Raiders and Dolphins last season, and his primary duties figure to be in the return game if he makes his way to Washington's active roster.
Oct 28, 2020 2:28 PM EST
The Texans brought Davis in for a workout, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Davis was a 2016 fifth-round draft pick of the Packers and has played for Green Bay, Miami and Oakland. He was most recently with the Bears in training camp. Davis has extensive experience as a returner, which is likely why the Texans brought him in. Houston's primary returner, DeAndre Carter, had a costly fumble during last week's loss to the Vikings.
Oct 11, 2020 7:05 AM EST
The Bears waived Davis on Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Davis bounced around among the Packers, Dolphins and Raiders last season, contributing more as a returner/jet-sweep specialist than a wide receiver. The 2016 fifth-round pick has blazing speed -- he ran a 4.42 40-yard dash -- so he'll seek out a returner role elsewhere.
Aug 25, 2020 5:57 PM EST
Davis signed a one-year contract with the Bears on Wednesday.
Analysis: Davis appeared in 14 games between the Raiders, Dolphins and Packers last season, catching eight passes for 111 yards. The 26-year-old has only 16 catches over his four-year career, and his likeliest path to a roster spot in Chicago figures to be as a returner.
Apr 29, 2020 7:46 PM EST
Davis did not record an offensive snap during Week 17's win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Davis wasn't targeted during his three-game stint with Miami in 2019, though he did contribute as a kick and punt returner. The return specialist is an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Jan 2, 2020 10:30 AM EST
Davis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins claimed Davis off waivers from Oakland on Tuesday, so he may not yet be acclimated to his new team's playbook. When fully up to speed, Davis could immediately contribute as a punt returner and depth wideout in Miami.
Dec 8, 2019 9:16 AM EST
The Dolphins claimed Davis off waivers from the Raiders on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins continue to be quite active on the waiver wire, and Davis will land on his third team of the season. Green Bay's 2016 fifth-round pick played two games for the Packers and nine for Oakland this season before heading to Miami. He'll serve an immediate need with the Dolphins as a returner since Jakeem Grant (ankle) is on IR.
Dec 3, 2019 1:44 PM EST
The Raiders waived Davis on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Acquired from the Packers on Sept. 18 for a 2020 sixth-round pick, Davis didn't pan out in his time in the Bay Area. His role on offense has been mostly non-existent since Week 8, and he lost his second fumble in the silver and black on a punt return this past Sunday in Kansas City. Overall, he's averaged 22.3 yards per kick return and 10.6 yards per punt return in his career, so he may draw some interest on the waiver wire.
Dec 2, 2019 3:14 PM EST
Davis was unable to bring in either of his targets during Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Sunday's loss continued what is now a four-game catchless streak for Davis. Davis made a splash in his first two games with Oakland, tallying 116 total yards and a touchdown in Weeks 4 and 5. He has just 40 yards since. The Raiders might be in for a shootout Sunday against the Chiefs, but Davis doesn't figure to be much a factor given his recent steep decline.
Nov 26, 2019 8:32 PM EST
The Raiders are expected to rely on Davis more in the passing game Sunday against the Packers with Tyrell Williams (foot) ruled out for the contest, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Williams' absence coupled with the fact that the newly acquired Zay Jones is still getting familiar with the Raiders' offensive playbook will likely leave Davis, Hunter Renfrow and Keelan Doss as Oakland's primary weapons at receiver in Week 7. Though tight end Darren Waller probably profiles as Derek Carr's top target, Davis gained traction as a secondary option in the Week 5 win over the Bears in London, nabbing four passes for 42 yards. He played 75 percent of the offensive snaps in that contest and should be in store for another sizable workload against the team that drafted him in the sixth round in 2016.
Oct 18, 2019 4:56 PM EST
Davis caught all four of his targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 24-21 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Davis, freshly acquired from Green Bay, logged his first receptions as a Raider Sunday after only running the ball in his Week-4 debut. It didn't turn out too well as, just before scoring what would have been a go-ahead touchdown on a quick screen early in the fourth quarter, Davis had the ball punched out for a fumble. Davis got a fair amount of playing time due to injuries to Tyrell Williams (foot) and J.J. Nelson (knee). If he still has a big role after the bye in Week 7, he'll go up against his old teammates in Green Bay.
Oct 6, 2019 2:38 PM EST
Davis is a candidate for extra targets in Sunday's Week 5 tilt against the Bears in London with fellow wideouts Tyrell Williams (foot), J.J. Nelson (knee) and Dwayne Harris (ankle) all declared inactive for the contest.
Analysis: The fourth-year speedster flashed in the Week 4 win over the Colts with a 60-yard rushing touchdown during which he flashed his impressive jets. Davis may have a lot more opportunity to show what he can do as a receiver Sunday given the trio of aforementioned absences, although he'll get the extra reps against a formidable Bears defense.
Oct 6, 2019 9:00 AM EST
Davis ran for 74 yards and a touchdown on two carries during Sunday's 31-24 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Acquired from Green Bay, Davis did his damage on the ground Sunday, scooting for a 60-yard touchdown to cap Oakland's second drive of the game. Davis wasn't targeted during the game and so it's hard to envision where he fits in the pecking order -- presumably fairly low -- but he showed that he has the ability make big plays Sunday. Expect Oakland to continue to use him as a gadget-type player to keep defenses honest.
Sep 29, 2019 4:47 PM EST
Davis, who was arrived via trade with the Packers on Sept. 18, is slated to serve as the No. 3 receiver in Sunday's Week 4 game against the Colts with J.J. Nelson (coach's decision) and Dwayne Harris (ankle) both declared inactive for the contest.
Analysis: It's unclear how much of the playbook Davis may have gotten down in his week-plus with the team, but he'll be pressed into duty Sunday behind Tyrell Williams and Hunter Renfrow. The speedy fourth-year wideout can also fill in for Harris in the return game and does bring 31 games of NFL experience to the table, so his incorporation into the offense may not necessarily be an overly difficult one.
Sep 29, 2019 8:55 AM EST
The Raiders acquired Davis in a trade from the Packers Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Davis projects to provide the Raiders with depth in the return game while Dwayne Harris (ankle) works to get healthy, and his big-play speed (4.3 second 40-yard dash) could set him up for an immediate role in Oakland's wideout corps. The deal's terms remain undisclosed at this time.
Sep 18, 2019 2:27 PM EST
Davis was not targeted in Sunday's victory over the Vikings. He was credited with two punt returns but did not accumulate any yardage.
Analysis: Davis acted as the Packers' fourth receiver in Week 1, playing 17 snaps and making a 28-yard reception, but he was a non-factor on offense in Week 2, playing just four snaps and not seeing even one pass in his direction. Meanwhile, fellow reserve receiver Jake Kumerow played six snaps and caught one pass Sunday. Neither Davis nor Kumerow is playing enough to garner consideration in fantasy leagues, but the Week 2 usage gives Kumerow the slight edge among the two moving forward. Davis will continue seeing plenty of action on special teams, though, as he remains the Packers' primary return man on both punts and kickoffs.
