BALLER MOVE: Start in 20+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4
ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis is coming off a strong fantasy game in Week 9, totaling 17 PPR fantasy points and finishing as the RB14 on the week. However, you should only be starting Davis in extremely deep leagues this weekend against the Indianapolis Colts.
Even though the Colts have allowed the fourth-most rush yards (1,096) to running backs this season, Davis just doesn't see enough playing time to have standalone value with James Cook active. The rookie only played nine snaps last week while seeing only 14% of the Bills' offensive snaps. So, there isn't much upside in starting him in most leagues in Week 10.
Since his breakout game in Week 6 when James Cook was OUT, Ray Davis has revered back to just a 20% snap share & 18 touches in those last 3 games
Yet still averages:
🔹 6 yards/att
🔹 25 yards/recAnd has 2 TD!
How is he not seeing more touches yet?!pic.twitter.com/y32lyVkF6Y

At this point, Davis is just a valuable handcuff in fantasy. He has played less than 18 snaps in every game that Cook has been active this season. So, if you have Cook in any of your leagues, it's best to pick up the rookie as a handcuff.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically.
