Austin Davis (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues (Bye Week Fill-In)

OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Coming off of his worst performance on the season, Davis is definitely a guy most are ignoring this week. I can look past his poor Week , but hat I can’t look past is his matchup for the week. Davis is definitely a two-QB option, and even a guy that you can look to if you’re desperate in one-QB leagues, as well. The reason behind the poor numbers is the lack of volume over the last three weeks. He’s maxed out at just 25 passes in each of the last three weeks. That trend should stop this week when the Rams take on a great running defense in the Cardinals. The Cardinals defense is much, much worse at defending the pass, handing out an average of 311 yards per game (ranked 32nd); they also permit the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing QBs. When the run gets stopped, the Rams will have no choice but to put the ball in Davis’s hands; he should stay productive in this matchup.
