News: 1 hour agoDavis rushed seven times for 21 yards and a touchdown while adding a 10-yard catch on his lone target in Saturday's 31-7 preseason win over the Browns.

Spin: Davis got the start at running back with James Cook resting. The 2024 fourth-round pick capped Buffalo's opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run and stayed in for the team's second possession. Cook will continue to lead Buffalo's backfield in the regular season as long as he's healthy, but Davis would be a must-roster fantasy option running behind Buffalo's elite offensive line if Cook gets hurt.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Davis is back as the primary insurance option behind Bills' feature back James Cook III. The 2024 fourth-round pick is one of the most valuable backups in fantasy, but flies a bit under the radar due to a very small game-day role when Cook and passing-down specialist Ty Johnson are both healthy. That's been the scenario most of the last two seasons, but we've seen Davis play more than half of Buffalo's snaps in three games. During those outings, Davis averaged 21.0 touches, 130.3 yards and 19.4 fantasy points per game. The 26-year-old has no standalone value, but he'll leap into the RB2 mix should Cook miss time, which makes him worth stashing on the end of your bench.
