Ray Davis, RB, Bills: The late rounds were made for insurance running back lottery tickets, and Davis is one of my favorites. Sure, he has near zero stand-alone value, but should James Cook III miss time, Davis will be the lead rusher in one of the NFL's top offenses. We saw that scenario three times over the past two seasons and Davis averaged 21.0 touches, 130.3 yards and 19.4 fantasy PPG in those outings.

Late-round handcuff: 19.4 PPG when Cook misses time in elite offense.
