Yahoo Sports NFL on Malik Davis

Davis emerging as reliable backup RB with TD, strong blocking, and 6 YPA.

Running back Malik Davis is trending upward as the Cowboys' backup and change-of-pace option heading into the preseason finale. Despite not being flashy, Davis has no major holes in his game: he gets what's blocked for him on run plays, can catch passes, provides blocking at a high level, and plays special teams well. In the latest preseason game, he caught a touchdown pass, blocked in pass protection to set up a big play, and rushed for nearly 6 yards per attempt, finally showing up after being overlooked by many observers.
