Corey Davis entered the NFL as the 5th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, and many in the fantasy community had high hopes for him. He has the prototypical build for a No.1 NFL wide receiver, and is very athletic. But so far, he has not been able to establish himself as a dominant player at this level.
Granted, he did play with Marcus Mariota during his first two seasons. During his second season (2018) he produced 65 receptions for 891 yards and 4 touchdowns as the clear leader in the wide receiver room. Many expected a big step in 2019, particularly since A.J. Brown would keep defenses honest on the other side of the field. But the narrative didn't pan out, as Brown came in and simply outplayed Davis.
Despite the poor play of Mariota early in 2019 and then playing second fiddle to Brown the second half of the season, Davis did finish with 43 receptions for 601 yards and 2 touchdowns. But it was a big step back from 2018, and seemed to indicate that he's more of a secondary option at the NFL level. He is not being drafted until very late in fantasy leagues, or is going undrafted. In a low-volume passing offense and behind Brown, it seems like the market is correct in this assessment.

A.J. Brown misses another practice Suffered ankle injury in Week 13 By: Doug Orth | Thu Dec 10, 11:30 pm

FFToday's Take: On the plus side, Brown returned to the game in Week 13 after suffering his ankle injury. On the negative side, fantasy owners may be forced to decide if he can be effective - much less play the whole game - without practicing this week if he sits again on Friday. It would be a shame if he can't play with the Jaguars' awful pass defense next up. Corey Davis is a strong start either way, but he could push for WR1 production if Brown can't go.
