James Cook enjoyed a breakout season in 2024, but that didn't stop the Bills from adding to their running back room by selecting Ray Davis in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Cook supporters should be thankful that Buffalo didn't add one of the many proven veterans who were available this offseason as had sometimes been rumored, but Davis is still a player who could play significant snaps for the Bills this season. Cook was by far Buffalo's most productive back in 2023, and was the only back who played in every game for them, but he still only managed to be on the field for just under 55 percent of the team's snaps. This indicated that while the Bills view Cook as their lead back, they're not willing to completely hand over the keys to make him their version of Christian McCaffery.
If Davis is able to play even 35 percent of the snaps for the Bills, there will almost certainly be weeks where produces usable fantasy numbers. The problem is that, unless Cook is out, predicting those games is going to be nearly impossible. Latavius Murray was Buffalo's main RB2 in 2023 and while he played over 30 percent of the team's offensive snaps, he only saw double-digit carries twice and only managed to score four total touchdowns, making him a completely unusable fantasy asset.
Davis may show us something that allows him to earn more of a 50/50 split by the end of the season, but fantasy managers should be expecting that he'll take a while to give us anything useful - if he ever gets there at all - as long as Cook is available.

 Ray Davis limited Friday, Questionable for Week 7
Calf injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 18, 2:48 pm
|  | S Mike Edwards and RB Ray Davis questionable. Everyone else on the active roster is good to go. #Bills (Chris Brown on X)
FFToday's Take: Davis missed practice Wednesday, and was limited on both Thursday and Friday. It remains to be seen if he will suit on Sunday against the Titans. James Cook (toe) is off the injury report and expected to play. The Titans have been decent against running backs this season, giving up the 9 fewest fantasy points to the position, including just 1 rushing TD.
| James Cook out, Khalil Shakir in vs. Jets
RB ruled out due to toe injury
By: Doug Orth | Mon Oct 14, 6:50 pm
| | Another Monday night inactive surprise at RB: James Cook is out tonight due to his toe injury, per source. It’s the first NFL game in three seasons that Cook has missed. WR Khalil Shakir is active. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: Once the Bills elevated Frank Gore Jr. earlier in the day, the writing appeared to be on the wall for Gore. As it stands, Buffalo figures to roll with Ray Davis and Ty Johnson in Cook's absence. As far as Shakir is concerned, he should have no issue resuming his role as Josh Allen's top target. His biggest hurdle figures to be a stingy Jets' pass defense that will likely be even more amped for DC Jeff Ulbrich - the team's new interim head coach.
