STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Davis's 4.8 yards per carry and Dowdle-like path make him a cheap sleeper handcuff.

Davis rose 12 ADP spots after the Cowboys cut their backup running back options down to one. Though not a particularly interesting college prospect and undrafted in 2021, Davis has hung around the Cowboys organization for five seasons and looked spry in 2025, averaging 3.3 yards after contact and 4.8 yards per carry on 52 attempts. The source notes this is a shockingly similar runout to Rico Dowdle's early career. At worst, Davis is a cheap handcuff bet; at best, he mixes in relief for Javonte Williams and has standalone value without an injury.
