# Marcus Davenport

NFL defensive end. Position: **DE**. Team: **Chicago Bears**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** Defensive End
- **Team:** Chicago Bears
- **Age:** 29
- **Draft:** 2018, 1st round (14th overall), New Orleans Saints

## 2026 Outlook

Davenport signed with the Bears as a low-risk move to bolster the pass rush after the team ranked 22nd with just 35 sacks in 2025. He reunites with defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, under whom he recorded his best work (career-high 9 sacks in 2021 with the Saints). However, injury concerns loom large — he's managed only 4 sacks over the past four seasons and missed 24 games with Detroit due to multiple injuries including a torn triceps. For fantasy purposes, he's unlikely to be a target given his injury history and tepid production in recent years. (per Bears set to sign former first round pick to help bolster defense)
