Davis

Davis (6’2"/313), twin brother of Khalil Davis, was a three-year starting defensive end and track-and-field star (Discus) at Nebraska. He’s juiced up with 99th percentile athleticism, but it never translated to defensive production in college. The redshirt senior only had 4.0 sacks and 4.5 TFLs in 2019 and was often washed out of the play because he lacked the pass-rushing moves to win one-on-one. Davis will likely get a chance to develop given his burst, but he will be a 24-year-old rookie and best profiles as an end of the roster depth option. The Steelers lost Javon Hargrave in free agency, so perhaps there is a path to sticking on the roster for Davis.

Pittsburgh will also be without Devin Bush, who made his return from an ACL injury last week against Buffalo. Losing Haden and Bush is a blow to a Steelers defense taking on a Raiders team playing on a short week, traveling across country for an early kickoff. Pittsburgh’s defense remains a top option in fantasy despite the injuries.
