Ray Davis
RB - Buffalo Bills
2024 Outlook
Expert Note
View More NotesDownhill but upright runner. He is at his best when he gets a head of steam. Can get tripped up by shoestring tackles. His running style is more shifty than powerful. Get him in a gap/power run game. He has the necessary agility to operate with inside zone as well. Davis will follow his blocks patiently, but he lacks the necessary burst to gain the edge in the stretch zone. Davis did flash an improved burst in 2023 compared to his 2019 film. This difference is even palatable as his breakaway percentage by 10.7% from 2022 to 2023. Davis is a proven volume rusher with at least 22 carries in 25% of his collegiate games. He likely slots in as an early down committee option in the NFL. He's nothing more than a check-down option in the passing game. Davis will leak out of the backfield and secure the occasional dump-off. His pass pro is suspect. Davis usually just attempts to chip at oncoming rushers. Unless his technique improves, he won't be a trusted passing-down option. Dynasty Outlook: Davis heads to the snowy northeast to join the Buffalo Bills via the fourth round of the NFL Draft. 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 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. Davis should be selected in the third round of your dynasty rookie drafts.

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.
