2024 Fantasy Outlook
Davis is an unusually well-traveled prospect who had three seasons with more than 200 touches and 1,100 yards for three different college programs (Temple, Vanderbilt, Kentucky). At 5-8, 211, his stocky build allows him to withstand more volume than someone might guess at first glance. Davis can use his low center of gravity to bounce off tacklers and avoid the worse ends of hits, saving himself some damage in the process. He also has decent speed (4.52 40), though his other combine numbers were subpar despite Davis being one of the older prospects in his class (he'll turn 25 in November). While incumbent starter James Cook figures to remain the lead back for Buffalo, power running isn't his strong suit and might offer a path for Davis to get involved immediately. The fourth-round pick will first need to earn his spot on the depth chart, competing with incumbent backup Ty Johnson, journeyman Darrynton Evans and undrafted rookie Frank Gore. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Gets free for 63-yard receiving TD
Davis rushed four times for 20 yards while catching both of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Most of Davis' production came on a 63-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter. He finished third among Bills running backs in rushing yards behind James Cook (10 carries for 44 yards) and Ty Johnson (three carries for 23 yards). Cook will likely continue to lead Buffalo's backfield in touches as long as he's healthy, so while Davis has flashed promising skills as both a rusher and a pass catcher, the rookie fourth-round pick's short-term fantasy value is capped by a lack of opportunities.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Iffy for Sunday due to calf injury
Davis is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans with a calf injury that he aggravated during the practice week, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Davis' injury originally occurred very late in the Week 6 win over the Jets on Monday night. McDermott added the issue wasn't believed to be significant at the time, but it resurfaced during Thursday's practice. That led to limited participation for Davis in each of the last two sessions of Week 7 prep, but even if he's forced to sit out Sunday, James Cook is in line to return from a one-game absence due to a toe injury.
