2025 Fantasy Outlook
Davenport is one of many Detroit defenders that will be making his return to action in 2025 after an injury-shortened campaign. The defensive lineman suffered a season-ending triceps injury Week 3, appearing in just two regular-season contests and recording two total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, in those games. Davenport's best season came in 2021 with the Saints, when he produced 39 tackles, including 9.0 sacks, both of which were career highs. He'll look to emulate those numbers, starting opposite Aidan Hutchinson on the Lions' defensive line this season. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Placed on injured reserve
The Lions placed Davenport (chest) on injured reserve Monday.
ANALYSIS
Davenport suffered a chest injury during the Lions' Week 2 win over the Bears. He was already ruled out for Monday's game against the Ravens, but his placement on IR means he'll be forced to miss at least the next four games. That makes Week 7 against the Buccaneers on Monday, Oct. 20 the earliest that Davenport can be reinstated from IR.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not yet ready to return
Davenport will not be ready to return from injured reserve in Week 11 against the Broncos, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Davenport has been sidelined by an ankle sprain and had a tightrope procedure to address the issue when he was originally placed on injured reserve in mid-October. He won't return to the field when first eligible, though coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that he expects to get Davenport back at some point this season. Prior to going down, he had tallied two sacks across four games.
