Ray Davis DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis didn't see much backfield work against the Rams in a surprising 44-42 loss on Sunday. The only stat that Davis had shown up on the box score was one kick return for 14 yards as the Bills abandoned the run pretty early on since they were playing from behind. Davis may also have a tough time finding some fantasy points in Week 15, as the Bills travel to Detroit to take on the NFC-leading Lions.

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has zero starts this season but remains one of the most valuable bench stashes as the fantasy football postseason nears. The rookie showed his worth in spot duty in the snow against the San Francisco 49ers, tallying 12 touches for 67 yards and a touchdown. Davis has been effective when given the opportunity. If starter James Cook suffers an injury, Davis would be the most valuable waiver-wire addition. Fantasy football players can beat the potential rush by adding Davis to benches ahead of Buffalo's matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. Davis ranks as a low-end RB3 this week.

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis rushed 11 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in the team's win over the San Francisco 49ers. He added one catch for four yards. The rookie saw an increase in usage because of wintry conditions in Buffalo. Davis scored the team's first touchdown late in the first quarter as players tried to find their footing. He later helped run out the clock in a 25-point victory. Davis' uptick in touches is a one-week blip and fantasy managers shouldn't rely on him moving forward. He does, however, remain an important bench stash should James Cook suffer an injury.

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has remained in a reserve role since Week 6 but holds value as a bench stash entering Week 13. The rookie only averaged five touches per game over the last four contests. If anything happens to starter James Cook, Davis would be the most valuable waiver-wire addition. Fantasy managers, especially those rostering Cook, can get ahead by adding Davis to benches. He should not be started against the San Francisco 49ers.

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Ray Davis has had his moments in his first year in the NFL, but he'll be a low-upside deep-league flex option for fantasy managers in a Week 11 showdown against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs and their stingy defense. Not only will Davis continue to have limited volume behind lead back James Cook, but the Chiefs defense has allowed the fewest half-PPR fantasy points to RBs through 10 weeks in 2024. The 25-year-old played only 11 of the team's 74 offensive snaps in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts, finishing with three carries for six yards. Davis is an explosive back and is one of the better stashes at the position in fantasy, especially if you have Cook rostered, but in terms of weekly value, he leaves a lot to be desired with limited usage. He's averaging 4.2 yards per carry on 64 attempts for 268 yards and two TDs in his first 10 NFL games.
