The 2021 playoff breakout from Gabe Davis had some fantasy managers making absolutely wild projections heading into this past season. Davis had never reached even 600 yards receiving in a regular season throughout his first two years, but that magical 2021 playoff run which saw him catch five touchdowns in two games, had people relying on him to be their WR3 or even WR2 for fantasy in 2022. The season started off hot, with Davis scoring a touchdown in Week 1, before scoring three more times prior to Week 6. But then things came crashing down, with the big play wideout failing to reach 100 yards in any game and scoring just three total touchdowns in his final 10 regular season contests. In short, he was essentially unusable for fantasy purposes following his short run of fantasy excellence.
Now heading into his fourth season, Davis again has some fantasy managers salivating at the idea of a breakout. In fairness to them, he did have his best season yet, producing career highs in receptions (48) and yards (836) while tying a career-high with seven touchdowns. The Bills didn't really add any significant threats to his role and team management has reiterated its belief in Davis throughout the offseason. Still, his streaky nature makes him an extraordinarily difficult player to project on a weekly basis, so be prepared to be frustrated if you're relying on him.
The big positive here is that Davis is still offering essentially the exact same upside in 2023 that he did in 2022, just at a significantly reduced cost. He's going two, three, or even four rounds later (depending on your service) than he was a season ago and he should still have a significant role in the Buffalo offense. Whether that pans out to be a more consistent fantasy option remains to be seen, but the price tag makes him a lot more palatable this year than he was in 2022.
