2025 Fantasy Outlook
Primarily a special teamer before last season, Davis-Gaither subbed in for injured Bengals MLB Logan Wilson from Week 13 onward, racking up double-digit tackles three times in six games on his way to 58 tackles during that stretch. Davis-Gaither parlayed the performance into a two-year, $10 million contract from the Cardinals this offseason, and he and Mack Wilson figure to be the team's top off-ball options at linebacker in 2025.

Davis-Gaither recorded five tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 37-14 loss at Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Davis-Gaither trailed far behind rookie fourth-rounder Cody Simon in terms of snaps at linebacker in Week 17, logging just 40 to Simon's 74. Predictably, he also lagged behind Simon in the tackle category. He's still on the IDP radar in some formats going into a Week 18 matchup against the Rams.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
2024 might be a make-or-break season for Davis-Gaither, after he registered a career-low 17 tackles in his fourth season in the league. The 2020 fourth-rounder out of Appalachian State missed four games due to a knee injury, but also saw a diminished role where he frequently was replaced on passing downs.
