BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder, game-time decision) may seem like a more attractive fantasy option after the injuries to Christian Kirk (collarbone, out for season) and Brian Thomas Jr. (chest, game-time decision). However, there are a number of reasons why he might be better on the bench.
Jordan Poyer has a PFF grade of 39.7 which is ranked 84th of 85 of all safeties.
Tre White has a PFF grade of 50.2 which is ranked 101st of 105 of all cornerbacks.
Gabe Davis has a PFF grade of 55.2 which is ranked 106th of 125 of all wide receivers.

For starters, Davis isn't good. He's made a few big touchdown catches over the years, but he's been one of the worst WRs that gets significant playing time in the league this year. Jacksonville's offense has run through Thomas, tight end Evan Engram, and running back Tank Bigsby (ankle, good to go Sunday) for the most part.

Also, the Philadelphia Eagles, who the Jags play in Week 9, have been locking down opposing receivers for the past few weeks. After making a change and starting rookie DB Cooper DeJean, Philly has allowed just 4.6 yards per pass attempt in the last three games. That's utterly elite, and by far the best mark in the league from Weeks 6-8.
Don't start Davis this week.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
