Steelers RB Najeh Davenport was acquitted of a misdemeanor domestic violence charge Wednesday in Cleveland Municipal Court.

He was also acquitted misdemeanor child endangering and unlawful restraint. (Updated 04/10/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
If convicted, Davenport could have faced a jail sentence of 14 months and a suspension from the NFL. Davenport had his most productive season in the NFL in 2007, setting career-highs in rushing yards (524), rushing touchdowns (seven), catches (20), receiving yards (207) and receiving touchdowns (two). He appeared in all 16 games for the first time in his career with two starts. He was a good complementary RB to Willie Parker, something that will continue in the future. Look for Davenport to fill the same role in 2008, and he has the ability to be used as a low-end No. 3 Fantasy option in deeper leagues. If you own Parker, you should definitely plan on drafting Davenport as insurance as well with a late-round pick. (Updated 04/10/2008).
