Who Should I Start? Mike Davis or Michael Carter

Monday, February 19, 3:49 PM

Running back Mike Davis officially announced his retirement from professional football on Monday on his X account. "As I turn 31 today, I sit back and look on my NFL career and how thankful I am to be apart of a brotherhood. This game has allowed me to make a lot of friends and memories. I'm grateful for every organization in NFL. With that being said I'm retiring!" Davis wrote. The 31-year-old was initially a fourth-round pick in 2015 by the San Francisco 49ers out of South Carolina. He spent the first two seasons of his career in San Fran before playing for the Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens. Davis will wrap up his eight-year career with a total of 558 carries for 2,052 yards (3.7 yards per tote) and 14 touchdowns, adding 171 catches for 1,066 yards and four TDs in the air over 87 games (30 starts).

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter fell under double-digit touches in the Week 14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Carter was quickly phased out of the offense and was only able to garner five touches for 31 scrimmage yards. The 26-year-old's role in the offense will remain up in the air with Emari Demercado (ankle) listed as questionable in Week 15. Demercado has missed the last three games with an ankle injury, but was able to be a limited participant in each practice this week. In a murky situation, Carter will face a difficult matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans' defense has allowed the fourth-fewest receptions and the fifth-fewest rushing yards this season. It will be tough sliding for Carter on Sunday, even as a pass-catcher, going against a solid Texans' linebacker core. In a difficult Week 15 matchup, Carter will be a risky desperation flex option in deep PPR leagues.
