BALLER MOVE: Bench in Nearly All Formats
POSITIONAL VALUE: FLEX if desperate
ANALYSIS: Ray Davis put on a show against the Jets in prime time last week. With James Cook on the shelf, Davis delivered a huge performance with 97 yards on the ground and another 55 yards receiving. He averaged nearly five yards per carry and looked dynamic in the process, breaking tackles and running over defenders.

The bad news is that Davis is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans with a hamstring injury. He should play, but he's going to go back to a backup role behind James Cook who is healthy and ready to return.
Some are speculating that Davis's performance could force the Bills to get him more touches and eventually lead to a timeshare with Cook, but that remains to be seen and it should be noted that the most carries he had in a game before Week 6 was seven (twice).
The Titans are a good run defense, so they could force the Bills to pass more this week. That doesn't bode well for Davis's usage as Cook is a better receiving back and Tyler Johnson has also been used in that role as well.
Keep Davis on your bench this week unless you have no other options in deep formats. He's a great player to stash for later in the year, but this week it's hard to roll him out there.
