Read the Ray Davis fantasy football waiver wire pickup analysis for Week 6 of 2024. RotoBaller's advice for Ray Davis waiver wire adds for free agents.
BALLER MOVE: Add Only as Handcuff
ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis looked to have an outside shot at being the starter for his team with lead running back James Cook (toe) suffering from an injury. Things are trending toward Cook playing, and Davis hasn't been particularly efficient with his playing time so far.
#NFL Injury Updates:#Bills James Cook - Likely playing. Turf toe data favors dip in total touches + efficiency. +Re-injury risk#Colts Anthony Richardson - TBD. Atypical practice progression (LP -> FP -> LP) = high risk to miss. Data still favors playing (~60%)
1/16

Davis doesn't have any standalone value while Cook is healthy, and the lead back is highly efficient with his touches (4.4 yards per carry and 11.1 yards per catch). In Week 5, Davis logged zero carries and was targeted just once, hauling in one pass for four yards. He was on the field for just 3% of snaps.
Fantasy managers who have Cook on their roster would be well-served to add Davis as an emergency handcuff in case he doesn't play on Monday, but he hasn't played well enough to siphon touches away from the starter.
