Player Notes
July 4, 2008
Najeh Davenport may be a fit with the Detroit Lions because of his experience in the league and the fact he has kickoff return experience, according to Pro Football Weekly.

Our View:Davenport had a nice season with Pittsburgh last season, but he would be in competition with a lot of bodies in Detroit, minimizing his fantasy value.
July 3, 2008
The Arizona Cardinals are not interested in free agent running back Najeh Davenport, according to the Arizona Republic. Davenport had earlier stated his desire to play for the Cardinals or Detroit Lions.

Our View:Davenport should be able to find a home somewhere as a back-up. He had a nice season in that role for the Steelers, but was made expendable when the team drafted Rashard Mendenhall.
July 2, 2008
Najeh Davenport is interested in playing for the Lions and Arizona Cardinals, according to the Detroit Free Press. Pittsburgh released the veteran backup after not being able to find a trade partner for the running back this offseason.

Our View:After rushing for a career high 499 yards in 2007, Davenport replaced the injured Willie Parker (leg) in the final two regular season games.
June 27, 2008
Najeh Davenport was released from the Pittsburgh Steelers today, according to Profootballtalk.com. It was reported earlier in the day that Pittsburgh was trying to trade the 29-year-old back.

Our View:Running backs are always needed around the league, so Davenport is likely to find work somewhere, and his value in fantasy football will be easier to gauge at that time.
June 27, 2008
The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to trade Najeh Davenport, reports profootballtalk.com. He ran for 499 yards and five touchdowns in 2007.

Our View:The 29-year-old Davenport will likely have some trade value, and he remains a solid player in a backup role. His fantasy value will depend on which team he winds up with.
