BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: James Cook went off on Thursday night, scoring three touchdowns. However, an underrated story was the usage of fellow running back Ray Davis, who logged 10 touches and 3.2 YPC while playing 31 percent of offensive snaps.
Davis showcased physicality in short-yardage situations, which doesn't come as much of a surprise. His ability to fight for every inch in short-yardage situations was one of his strengths coming out of the University of Kentucky last spring.
Ray Davis with a great drive with runs of 8 and 10. I thought Joe Brady leaned into it too much and had an opportunity to run play action on that 3rd straight handoff, but a small gripe. Davis getting involved is huge. Then Ty Johnson, still good.

The Bills are clearly working to get Davis meaningful touchdowns, which is good news for his fantasy football outlook. He's been a top-51 running back in each of his two NFL games so far and, therefore, is a solid bench option in most leagues.
Beyond Davis' week-by-week value as Cook's backup, he might be one of the league's most valuable handcuffs, ready to be let loose if Cook were to suffer an injury.
With all these factors in mind, Davis is a low-end RB4 heading into Week 3 against the Jaguars. He should be pursued in most leagues with 14-plus teams, even if it's just as a bench addition for now.
