Bills' Ray Davis: Reverts to kick-return duties
Ray Davis didn't record a carry or target during Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals but returned four kickoffs for 84 yards.Davis rushed for a season-high 62 yards on nine carries during the Buffalo Bills' Week 13 win over the Steelers. However, he saw the field for 10 total snaps Sunday (four on offense, six on special teams), and the only time he touched the ball was on kickoffs as a returner. Ty Johnson, in contrast, played 16 snaps on offense and finished with two carries for 25 yards and two catches (on three targets) for 14 yards. Davis and Johnson both worked behind James Cook out of the backfield, and that trend should continue in this Sunday's AFC East tilt against the Patriots.

Bills' Ray Davis: Excels in change-of-pace role
Ray Davis took nine carries for 62 yards without being targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Steelers.Davis added 15 yards on his only kick return, failing to recreate the electricity from last week's return TD against the Texans. The 25-year-old backup instead stood out by outproducing his entire rushing yardage total from his 11 previous appearances in one contest. Davis had reached nine carries just twice prior to Week 13, with both occurrences coming in blowouts just like Sunday's. Fantasy managers can safely ignore Davis ahead of next Sunday's tilt against the Bengals.

Bills' Ray Davis: No touches but gets kick return TD
Ray Davis didn't record a carry or target in Thursday's 23-19 loss to the Texans but returned three kickoffs for 145 yards and a touchdown.Davis played just six snaps on offense compared to 36 for James Cook and 23 for Ty Johnson. Despite Davis' lack of involvement on that side of the ball, the second-year pro left his mark on Thursday's game with a 97-yard kickoff return touchdown, which gave the Buffalo Bills a 16-13 lead in the second quarter. Davis will have minimal fantasy appeal as long as both Cook and Johnson are ahead of him on the depth chart.

Bills' Ray Davis: Clear for Week 9
Ray Davis (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.Davis didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness but capped Week 9 prep with back-to-back full sessions, paving the way for him to be available Sunday. His touch count has been hit or miss this season, with a pair of nine-carry outings and then seven combined touches in his five other appearances this season. James Cook has dominated the Buffalo Bills backfield, while Ty Johnson has been more involved than Davis, leaving the latter on the outside looking in.

Bills' Ray Davis: Inefficient Sunday

However, he failed to capitalize on this increased workload, averaging just 1.8 yards per carry on nine touches.

He's likely to handle the team's No. 3 running back duties again in the Week 9 matchup against the Chiefs.
