Knile Davis: Signs with Chicago
Knile Davis is signing with the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Even with Jordan Howard (knee) a bit banged up, Davis is a long shot to crack the 53-man roster in Chicago. He was released by the Steelers at the end of the preseason last year and never caught on with another team. Best known for running a 4.37 40-yard dash at 227 pounds back in 2013, the 26-year-old will need to make a strong impression on special teams to have any shot at sticking around.

Steelers' Knile Davis: Sees extended work Saturday
Knile Davis rushed seven times for 21 yards and hauled in one of two targets for nine yards in Saturday's 19-15 preseason loss to the Colts. He also returned three kickoffs for 61 yards.Davis logged the second-most carries on the Pittsburgh Steelers, checking in behind only Terrell Watson on the night. The veteran is slotted ahead of Watson on the depth chart, although the latter outperformed him Saturday. However, Davis' experience and ability to return kicks could be the deciding factor in the job battle, which likely comes down to next Thursday's exhibition finale against the Panthers.

Steelers' Knile Davis: Inks deal with Steelers
Knile Davis signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday.Davis joins Pittsburgh after a season in which he was traded from the Chiefs to the Packers, then rejoined Kansas City after being waived by both Green Bay and the Jets. A third-round pick in 2013, Davis has long drawn intrigue for his combination of size and speed, but his career average of 3.2 yards per rush on 250 carries tells the real story of his ability. Although DeAngelo Williams' status as a free agent leaves an opening behind Le'Veon Bell (groin) in the Steelers' high-powered offense, Davis' lack of recent production is something fantasy owners shouldn't overlook.

Chiefs' Knile Davis: Receives season-high six carries in finale
Knile Davis finished the 2016 regular season with six carries for nine yards in Sunday's game against the Chargers.Davis finished the campaign with just 18 total carries for 28 rushing yards between the Kansas City Chiefs and Packers, and likely will be looking for a job elsewhere in the offseason due to his contract expiring. However, it's unlikely the fourth-season back will attain fantasy relevance any time in the near future.

Chiefs' Knile Davis: Inactive for Week 15
Knile Davis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, BJ Kissel of Kansas City Chiefs.com reports.Since rejoining the Chiefs after brief stints with the Packers and Jets this season, Davis will remain inactive for the third straight week. Unless the Chiefs lose either Spencer Ware or Charcandrick West to injury, it doesn't look as though Davis will have an opportunity to pick up snaps in Kansas City.

Chiefs' Knile Davis: Receives four touches against Raiders
Knile Davis carried the ball three times for 10 yards and caught a pass for seven yards in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jaguars.Davis remains behind both Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware (concussion) on the depth chart, but with Jamaal Charles (knee) potentially done for the season and Ware ruled out Sunday, Davis served as the relief back for West. The Kansas City Chiefs did very little on offense this week, but the fourth-year back is unlikely to make much impact beyond the 10 snaps he received Sunday unless the other options are unavailable.

Chiefs' Knile Davis: Signed by Chiefs
Knile Davis was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.Davis has endured quite an interesting season thus far, having bounced from Kansas City to the Packers, then to the Jets for just one day, and now back to the Chiefs. He'll be expected to provide depth at running back behind Charcandrick West with Spencer Ware (concussion) sidelined and Jamaal Charles (knee) on IR. Expect West to see a bulk of the workload and fantasy value out of the Chiefs' backfield in Week 9, despite Davis' signing.

Knile Davis: Will be waived by Jets
The Jets plan to release Knile Davis to create a roster spot for C.J. Spiller, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.It looks like Davis will last all of one day in New York, as the Jets will be able to waive him and sign Spiller on Wednesday afternoon. Rapoport added that the Jets had been speaking with Spiller and signed Davis as an insurance policy in case talks with the former were to fall apart. Now that the team has received their "yes" from Spiller, they no longer require Davis' services. He will become a free agent for the second time in three days if he clears waivers.

Knile Davis: Claimed by Jets on Tuesday
Knile Davis was claimed by the Jets on Tuesday, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.Davis was traded from Kansas City to Green Bay on Oct. 18, and then released by the Packers on Oct. 31. It's far from encouraging that he was cut by a team with almost nothing to speak of at his position, but the Jets apparently find Davis' athleticism intriguing enough to warrant a roster spot for the time being. This could be another short stint, as the team is seemingly pleased with its leading running back duo of Matt Forte and Bilal Powell. In all likelihood, Davis will need to fight for his roster spot from week to week.
