BALLER MOVE: Add
ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis proved in Week 7 that he can have standalone value when given the opportunity, which is massive for fantasy football. He should be added in all leagues. He has decent upside as a RB3/FLEX option moving forward and RB1 upside if his backfield buddy James Cook gets injured.
Ray Davis cannot be stopped!!! 😤

While he scored this touchdown when both teams likely knew the game was out of hand in the eventual blowout, he's shown impressive tackle-breaking ability and receiving upside. Cook possesses the second quality much more than he does the first, but the rookie's talent could force the team to consider a committee backfield.
With the addition of wide receiver Amari Cooper to the team, it will be more difficult for opposing defenses to focus heavily on the run, which could open up more holes for both backs. Things are looking up for the Bills offense after a few disappointing performances.
Davis' should be viewed as a handcuff and bench stash with some starting upside during projected blowout games for Buffalo, huge upside in games Cook can't play, and a decent emergency starter in case of injuries to other players in your fantasy football lineups.
