Ray Davis is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills rookie running back Ray Davis was not given many opportunities in the season opener, as he saw just three carries for 13 yards. He did catch his lone target for 14 yards as well.
Running back James Cook got the lion's share of work in Week 1 as he led the team with 19 carries. Quarterback Josh Allen ran the ball nine times.
While this was not a positive debut for Davis from a fantasy perspective, it did provide more clarity on his role in the offense. Fantasy managers should expect Davis to serve as the No.2/No.3 running back in this offense in a timeshare with Ty Johnson. Johnson did get a few more snaps than Davis, but the rookie had more rushing and receiving attempts.
The 24-year-old looked sharp throughout the preseason, and if he continues to flash his potential in the few opportunities he sees every week, he should solidify himself as the No.2 RB in this offense.

For now, the Kentucky product remains a solid stash in deeper leagues, as he does not have any standalone value.
