Ray Davis
2025 Season Outlooks
Davis is the primary backup to James Cook and is worth drafting as a high-upside handcuff. He is unlikely to be a reliable starter with Cook healthy, but we saw a glimpse of his potential if Cook misses time. Davis carried 20 times and added three catches at the Jets in Week 6, totaling 152 total yards and scoring 18.2 PPR points. He could be a league-winner if given the opportunity. Davis is a good late-round pick.
Davis is entering his second season after soaking up 130 touches as a rookie last season. The fourth-round pick essentially split change-of-pace duties with Ty Johnson behind lead back James Cook. Davis played 24% of the snaps on the season and averaged 7.6 touches per game. He cleared 12 touches only twice (Cook was out or limited for both) and was impressive (152 yards in Week 6, 65 yards and one TD in Week 18). The 25-year-old was effective as both a rusher and receiver and, as we saw in a small sample last season, he'd likely be Buffalo's lead back (with Johnson also plenty involved) in the event of a Cook injury. That makes him a valuable insurance back worth consideration in the late rounds.
