Ray Davis

25-Year-Old Running BackRB
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

January 19, 2025
Davis (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Davis, who sustained a concussion during last Sunday's 31-7 wild-card win over the Broncos, was deemed limited at practice this past week before approaching the contest listed as questionable. With his availability versus Baltimore confirmed, Davis is slated to work in a supporting role behind Buffalo's top back James Cook (who logged 23 carries versus Denver), with Ty Johnson also available to mix in.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Iffy for Sunday due to calf injury
RBBuffalo Bills
October 18, 2024
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.
