Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis ran the football five times for 41 yards and a touchdown in the team's 34-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The rookie also caught one pass for six yards. Davis' touchdown came on Buffalo's final drive with under two minutes remaining. The fourth-round pick took the carry for 16 yards into paydirt. Most of Davis' production happened in the second half. James Cook returned to the lineup and dominated touches and snaps in the first half. Following his great stat line against the Jets, Davis cemented himself as one of the top handcuffs in fantasy football. Unless Cook suffers another injury, Davis should stay on fantasy football benches.
Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis (calf) is officially active for Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as questionable, and there was real doubt about his availability for Sunday's game. In the end, though, he'll suit up as the No. 2 running back behind James Cook. Davis is coming off the best game of his young career when he broke free for 152 scrimmage yards on 23 touches when Cook was sidelined. Now that Cook is back, Davis' volume will be scaled back. He'll still earn some touches, but not enough to justify starting him in 12-team leagues this week.
Buffalo Bills rookie running back Ray Davis (calf) popped up on this week's injury report on Thursday and was limited in practice the last two days. The Bills listed him as questionable to play this Sunday in Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans. It's disappointing for fantasy managers that picked Davis up off the waiver wire after his impressive performance against the division-rival New York Jets on Monday night. The 24-year-old fourth-rounder was explosive on his way to 97 rushing yards on 20 carries with James Cook (toe) inactive in Week 6. He also caught all three of his targets for 55 yards. Cook has been cleared to play in Week 7, so even if Davis is given the green light to play on Sunday, he'll likely take a back seat to Cook in the running game. Despite the bad news, Davis' upside makes him a worthwhile stash in most leagues, especially if you also have Cook rostered.
Buffalo Bills rookie running back Ray Davis (calf) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This was surprising as the Kentucky product did not face any limitations during Wednesday's initial practice session. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's report as it should clarify his status heading into the weekend. Last week, with James Cook (toe) sitting out, Davis took the lead role in the backfield and performed very well, totaling 97 yards on the ground with an additional 55 through the air. If Davis remains sidelined, Cook should be expected to play the top role. If Davis can suit up, both may limit each other's opportunities.
Buffalo Bills rookie running back Ray Davis racked up 97 rushing and 55 receiving yards in the team's 23-20 win over the New York Jets. The rookie didn't get the start in place of the injured James Cook (toe). Veteran Ty Johnson registered Buffalo's first carry, but then it was all Davis. The fourth-round pick churned out chunk play after chunk play, totaling over 100 yards before halftime. The highlight play was when Davis came down with a contested catch on a 42-yard throw from Josh Allen. Davis finished with 20 carries and three receptions. While Davis filled in admirably for Cook, the starter should take command of the backfield when he's healthy. That could come on Sunday when the Bills host the Tennessee Titans. If not, Davis will be in the RB2 range.
