News: 2 days agoDavis played five snaps on offense and five snaps on special teams without showing up in the box score otherwise in the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Spin: Davis' catch for no gain early in the fourth quarter was negated by a holding penalty by Alec Anderson. It appears Davis will not be a factor in the Bills' offensive game plan this season, with Ty Johnson serving as the backup option in the backfield for James Cook. Davis should continue to see the field as a contributor on special teams, though he did not return a kickoff after doing so in both of the first two games of the regular season.

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.
