Falcons 2021 over/under: Mike Davis rushing yards

The team moved on from the three primary backs of 2020 in Todd Gurley, Brian Hill and Ito Smith and signed Mike Davis in the off-season. He will join Cordarelle Patterson and Qadree Ollison (and possibly an undrafted free agent) to form the new unit in the backfield, and will likely be the lead option.
Davis had his best year in the NFL at age 27 with the 2020 Carolina Panthers - a team that struggled offensively. Under a creative playcaller like Arthur Smith, what kind of year could Davis have? Let’s take a look.
