Should You Start or Sit Ray Davis in Week 3?
Ray Davis more than doubled his snap count in Week 2 (19) from Week 1 (eight), thanks to a wonky game script and a reconstruction of Josh Allen’s face at one point.
With James Cook running hard (5.2 YPC this season, not to mention a 100% catch rate), there just isn’t a reason to give Davis a chance. I think he’s up there in the backup running back power rankings, but his path to standalone value isn’t there as long as Cook is active.
He’s a strategic hold. I always save a spot on my bench for a player who has only contingent value, and if I hit big, I hit big. If not, no real harm. Davis is my most common player in that spot this season, and I’ll continue to hold as long as this Bills offense remains elite.
