FLEX

Malik Davis's recent trend in carry share signals a variable role, with his highest mark at 45.5% but also dipping to just 12.5% over the last four games.

Role & volume

Davis has shown inconsistency in his rushing volume, with a carry share ranging from 12.5% to 45.5% over his last four games.

Projected role

Given Davis's recent trend of fluctuating usage and our value ranking him as RB74, he projects to be a situational back with limited upside for weekly starts.

Range (floor–ceiling)

Davis offers a low floor due to his inconsistent snap share and target volume, but a modest ceiling when he secures a higher carry share in games.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (3 flags)

Risk Flags

Injury Status
Davis suffered a serious hip injury in practice just before the 2026 opener, required surgery, and was placed on injured reserve without a return designation, wiping out his entire age-27 season.
Depth Chart
Dallas promoted Israel Abanikanda to the active roster to cover the absence, adding a younger body Davis will have to out-compete for reps once healthy, alongside incumbent Emari Demercado.
Role Ceiling
Even during his best 2025 stretch Davis carried almost no receiving work (roughly 1% target share, ~0.02 WOPR), so his healthy-year ceiling was already capped at a rushing-only complementary role rather than a three-down job.
