Ray Davis

Davis should already be considered the favorite for the RB2 job with the Bills. James Cook will still lead this backfield and likely gobble up most (possibly all) of the passing game work. Davis has a three-down skillset, but his pass-game chops are not on the same level as Cook's. Expect him to ease the early down load for Cook with the upside to cut into his red zone volume some, but be mindful that the inside the five-yard line pie is smaller in Buffalo compared to some other teams, with Josh Allen always getting a decent share of the work. In his final collegiate season, Davis ranked 27th in yards after contact per attempt and 34th in breakaway rate (per PFF). Davis is a solid handcuff option that could offer flex value in a pinch.

The Buffalo Bills have selected RB Ray Davis with the No. 128 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Davis rushed for over 1,100 yards last season at Kentucky after a 1,000 yard season with Vanderbilt. He also caught 33 passes last year. He holds a lower center of gravity and is quick in space. He'll look to earn a role in the Bills backfield.
