Bills' Ray Davis: Finds end zone against Detroit
Ray Davis rushed seven times for 15 yards and caught both of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-42 win over the Lions.Davis scored his second receiving touchdown of the 2024 campaign in Week 15, bringing him to five total touchdowns so far this season. The rookie running back played just 18 of the Buffalo Bills 70 offensive snaps, but he was able to make the most of his limited opportunities in the contest. Going forward, Davis is likely to continue to share playing time with Ty Johnson behind starter James Cook. For that reason, Davis remains an unreliable fantasy option barring an injury to Cook. The Bills host the Patriots in Week 16.

Bills' Ray Davis: Non-factor in loss
Ray Davis didn't receive any carries or draw any targets while playing 13 snaps on offense in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams.Davis went without a touch for the first time all season, with the rookie running back working behind both James Cook (27 snaps) and Ty Johnson (21). Despite the lack of opportunity at the moment, Davis remains a valuable insurance policy in the event Cook misses time down the stretch.

Bills' Ray Davis: Scores in lopsided win
Ray Davis rushed 11 times for 63 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for four yards in Sunday's 35-10 win over the 49ers.Davis was involved early, scoring a five-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter, but most of his yardage came later in the game after the result was no longer in doubt. James Cook (14 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown) paced Buffalo's backfield as usual, but Davis benefited from a run-heavy game plan in snowy conditions. Davis will continue to work as the team's No. 2 running back behind Cook in Week 14 against the Rams.

Bills' Ray Davis: Five carries in Week 11
Ray Davis rushed five times for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Chiefs.Davis was minimally involved in the Buffalo Bills game plan against the Chiefs, as the rookie running back continued to operate in a limited role. The 25-year-old played just 15 of the Bills' 73 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Buffalo running back behind Ty Johnson (33) and James Cook (27). Davis remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes while Cook is healthy. The Bills head into a Week 12 bye before hosting the 49ers on Dec. 1.

Bills' Ray Davis: Handles three carries in win
Ray Davis rushed three times for six yards in Sunday's 30-20 win over the Colts.Davis was minimally involved in Sunday's contest, as the rookie running back was on the field for just 11 of the Buffalo Bills' 74 offensive snaps while starter James Cook played 41 snaps. As long as the latter remains healthy, the 25-year-old Davis should continue to see limited usage out of Buffalo's backfield. Davis is best viewed as solid insurance policy behind Cook going forward. The Bills will host the Chiefs in Week 11.

Bills' Ray Davis: Gets free for 63-yard receiving TD
Ray Davis rushed four times for 20 yards while catching both of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins.Most of Davis' production came on a 63-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter. He finished third among Buffalo Bills running backs in rushing yards behind James Cook (10 carries for 44 yards) and Ty Johnson (three carries for 23 yards). Cook will likely continue to lead Buffalo's backfield in touches as long as he's healthy, so while Davis has flashed promising skills as both a rusher and a pass catcher, the rookie fourth-round pick's short-term fantasy value is capped by a lack of opportunities.

Bills' Ray Davis: Minimal role in easy win
Ray Davis had six carries for 29 yards and was not targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 31-10 win over the Seahawks.After two weeks of big production -- which probably came at a cheap value in the fantasy world -- the fourth-round rookie took a clear back seat Week 8 while starter James Cook ran wild over the Seattle defense for 133 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. Davis did see action on 22 percent of the offensive snaps for the second straight week, but no matter how well Davis has been performing, this is a good reminder that this is not a timeshare in Buffalo. At the very least, Davis has used October to put himself clearly ahead of Ty Johnson (no carries Week 7 or Week 8) as the No. 2 option in the Buffalo backfield.

Bills' Ray Davis: Finds end zone in win
Ray Davis rushed five times for 41 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.Davis' touchdown came with just under two minutes left in the contest, when the game was already out of hand. The rookie running back has now hit paydirt twice this season while rushing for 213 yards on 51 carries (4.2 YPC). Teammate James Cook made his return Week 7 after missing the previous game with a toe injury, and in doing so, reclaimed his role as the Buffalo Bills' top option out of the backfield. Though Davis could see his role increase in Buffalo's offense as the season goes on, he holds the most value as an insurance policy if Cook is forced to miss time again.

Bills' Ray Davis: Active versus Titans
Ray Davis (calf) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans.After being added to the Buffalo Bills' injury report Thursday, when he was limited due to a calf injury, Davis remained limited Friday before being deemed questionable for the contest, while fellow running back James Cook (toe) didn't carry a Week 7 injury designation. With his availability versus Tennessee confirmed, Davis (who carried 20 times for 97 yards and caught all three of his targets for 55 yards while filling in for an injured Cook versus the Jets this past Monday) is in line to move back into a complementary role behind Cook in a Buffalo backfield that also includes Ty Johnson. However, the rookie fourth-rounder's respectable showing in Week 6 could result in added opportunities going forward, provided his calf issue doesn't limit him.

Bills' Ray Davis: Status in question for Sunday
Ray Davis (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Titans, Alec White of the Buffalo Bills' official site reports.Davis didn't make an appearance on the Bills' Week 7 practice report until Thursday, when he was limited due to a calf injury. He maintained that activity level Friday, and his ensuing designation leaves his status up in the air for Sunday. Coach Sean McDermott intimated as much earlier Friday, telling WGR 550 Buffalo that he wasn't sure if the rookie fourth-round pick will be available this weekend. Meanwhile, James Cook (toe) practiced fully Thursday and Friday and has been cleared to return, so he likely will assume No. 1 status out of the Bills backfield, even if Davis is active.
