News Story: Steve Reed, of the Shelby Star, reports Carolina Panthers RB Stephen Davis said he is ready to accept whatever role the team has in store for him for the rest of the season. Although he still wants to be the primary ball carrier, Davis said Thursday, Dec. 1, he would be all right if the Panthers decide to use him similar to how the Pittsburgh Steelers use RB Jerome Bettis, which is mostly inside the opponent's 20-yard line and in short-yardage and goal-line situations. Davis said head coach John Fox spoke to him about his role recently, but the running back offered little insight into the conversation. "As long as I'm getting opportunities to make plays, helping the team win, that's the most important thing," said Davis.
Source: KFFL Tuesday, November 29, 1:56 PM EST (Week 13)
News Story: Coach John Fox insisted Monday that the Panthers had not moved DeShaun Foster ahead of Davis as their primary running back, the Charlotte Observer reports.
Fantasy Analysis: That said, it's clear that Davis' role has diminished. The past two weeks, Davis has only 10 carries compared to Foster's 32. Fox downplayed the pattern of going away from Davis though, saying, "(it's) no more of a trend than when Stephen had more carries than DeShaun earlier in the year. As much as people on the outside want to make a big deal about a change, there really isn't." Look for Fox to continue to use both backs, with Davis' best chance of making a fantasy impact being in short-yardage situations.

News Story: Even though Stephen Davis had just nine carries compared to the 22 DeShaun Foster had Sunday, coach John Fox said Foster hasn't taken over as the Panthers' primary running back, according to the Charlotte Observer.
News Story: The Associated Press reports Jacksonville Jaguars RB Fred Taylor (ankle) will miss the Week 13 game and RB Greg Jones will start in his place. Head coach Jack Del Rio said, "Fred is getting better, it's week to week, but he's not going to make it this week. We both agreed that it would be best to give it a little more time. We are expecting him back this season." Taylor hasn't played since Week 11 and claims he was not 100 percent healthy then. Taylor said, "Looking back at Tennessee, it wasn't the smartest thing to do. Whenever I'm healthy enough to go, I'll be out there. The ankle is still sore, but it's a lot better than it was."
