Ray Davis is a fantasy football sleeper undervalued draft pick for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook and draft advice for the Buffalo Bills running back.
RotoBaller Ranking (half-PPR): RB52
Fantasy Draft Analysis: The Buffalo Bills selected Ray Davis in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He didn’t see a ton of action playing behind James Cook last year, but the underlying data suggests that maybe he should have.
Among 70 backs with 50+ carries, Davis finished fifth in MTF/ATT. He also performed well in a Week 6 spot start for Cook and totaled 152 scrimmage yards on 23 touches. Davis was a tackle-breaking machine last year and looks like a very good player.

With Cook seemingly dug into his stance of wanting a new contract, Davis becomes a highly intriguing late-round target for fantasy managers. While Davis is a talented player, he will very likely begin the 2025 season behind Cook.
However, if Cook is injured, then Davis would become the RB1 in a highly potent offense. If Davis ever sees an extended run as a starter, his MTF/ATT data suggests he could surprise in a big way.
He’s currently very affordable in drafts, as evidenced by his current NFFC ADP of 171.41 overall. There's little risk in drafting him at this cost, so why not take a flyer on Davis? RB1 production is in the outside range of outcomes if things break right.
