Davis rushed five times for 12 yards and caught his lone target for 17 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots. Davis was on the field for just 14 of the Bills' 59 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Buffalo running back behind Ty Johnson (23) and James Cook (21). Barring an injury to either Cook or Johnson, Davis will continue to be an unreliable fantasy option going forward. The Bills will host the Jets in Week 17.

Davis rushed five times for 12 yards and caught his lone target for 17 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots. Davis was on the field for just 14 of the Bills' 59 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Buffalo running back behind Ty Johnson (23) and James Cook (21). Barring an injury to either Cook or Johnson, Davis will continue to be an unreliable fantasy option going forward. The Bills will host the Jets in Week 17.
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 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.
Davis failed to record a single rush or target in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams. Davis was not involved in the Bills' offensive attack Sunday, failing to record a single rush for just the second time all season. The rookie running back played just 13 of the Bills' 60 offensive snaps in the contest, behind both James Cook (27) and Ty Johnson (21). Despite the abysmal performance, Davis remains a valuable insurance policy in the event Cook misses time down the stretch. The 25-year-old Kentucky product will look to bounce back in Week 15 when the Bills visit the Lions.
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.
Davis rushed five times for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Chiefs. Davis was minimally involved in the 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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 pay dirt twice this season while rushing for 213 yards on 51 carries so far in 2024. Teammate James Cook made his return in Week 7 after missing the previous week with a toe injury, and in doing so, reclaimed his role as the 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. Davis and the Bills will visit the Seahawks in Week 8.
