Ray Davis is super cheap so I get throwing a late-round dart his way. He had 23 of 27 carries and targets in our one-game sample without James Cook in 2024. That said: Do worry that Ty Johnson would turn things closer to a 50/50 situation if Cook missed time in 2026 considering the shift we saw last season: 2024: -Ray Davis: 113 carries, 19 targets -Ty Johnson: 41 carries, 25 targets 2025: -Ray Davis: 58 carries, 13 targets -Ty Johnson: 50 carries, 33 targets Also Johnson somehow had 6 carrie...

14-team PPR league. Had the No. 12 pick. Love everything except the RBs, but I’ll make it work. Took shots on high-upside handcuffs. Thoughts? QB: Herbert RB: Walker, Stevenson, Tracy, Lloyd, Jordan James, Ray Davis, Holani WR: Lamb, Rice, Tee, Godwin, Nailor TE: LaPorta

"Omarion Hampton is the starter, and it'd make sense if Keaton Mitchell gets like 8 touches per game. The Mike McDaniel "wanted" posters storyline, ya know? Still, I can't help but wonder if Kimani Vidal is ACTUALLY the fantasy handcuff who would take on most of the work if Hampton got hurt. Kinda like the Ray Davis - Ty Johnson dynamic in Buffalo behind James Cook. Make sense?" Steak 'n Shake cashier: Sir please leave.

Ray Davis is an awesome late-round pick in the 200s and was treated as a strong contingent upside pick last year; if James Cook goes down, Davis has the early down and goal line role and would have been going in the 140s-150s.
