ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis got the start in Week 6 with James Cook (toe) out of the lineup. The rookie running back had a limited role over the first five weeks, averaging six touches for 3.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.
However, the former Kentucky star was outstanding in Week 6. He had 20 rushing attempts for 97 yards, three receptions for 55 receiving yards, and 16.7 fantasy points. Davis’ 152 scrimmage yards were the most by a rookie in a game this season.
Ray Davis accumulated 152 scrimmage yards in the Bills win last night, marking the most in a game by any rookie this season ⬇️
1. BUF Ray Davis - 152 (at NYJ, 10/14)
2t. NYG Tyrone Tracy Jr. - 130 (at SEA, 10/6)

Unfortunately, Davis’ fantasy value is limited when Cook is healthy. However, fantasy players with Cook on their roster should make Davis their top waiver wire priority this week. The rookie is the clear-cut handcuff, accounting for 83.3% of the backfield rushing attempts and 85.2% of the touches last night.
Meanwhile, the former Kentucky star is a solid stash option for fantasy players without Cook on their roster. Davis will be a top-24 running back in Week 7 if he gets his second consecutive start.
