Ray Davis - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Continues to work behind Cook As training camp approaches, Davis is on track to maintain his complementary role in a Buffalo backfield that returns starter James Cook as well as Ty Johnson, Matt Parrino of Syr...

Impact During the 2025 regular season, Cook logged 309 carries (third in the NFL) for a league-high 1,621 rushing yards in 17 contests, a heavy workload that didn't leave much volume for either Davis (58 carries) or Ty Johnson (50 carries). With Cook entrenched as the Bills' lead back, Davis brings modest fantasy lineup utility out of the gate in 2026, but he remains a valuable backup who excels as a kicker returner, and if Cook were to miss time down the road, Davis -- who racked up 151 rushing yards on 21 carries during a spot start in Week 18 last season -- would likely step in as the starter, with Johnson also in the mix, in particular in pass-catching situations.

Pair of grabs in loss to Denver Davis secured both of his targets for 33 yards during Buffalo's 33-30 divisional-round overtime loss to the Broncos on Saturday.

Impact Davis also recorded five kickoff returns for 130 yards versus Denver. The 2024 fourth-round pick earned first-team All-Pro honors as a kick returner in his sophomore season, but he took a step backward on offense, working behind both James Cook and Ty Johnson out of the backfield during the 2025 campaign. Across 17 regular-season appearances, Davis rushed 58 times for 275 yards and zero scores while also securing 10 of 13 targets for 86 yards. Of those totals, 151 of Davis' rushing yards came in a meaningless Week 18 win over the Jets in which Cook didn't touch the ball after Buffalo's second offensive snap. Cook, Johnson and Davis all remain under contract with the Bills for 2026.

Special-teams impact in win Davis recorded four kickoff returns for 119 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 27-24 wild-card win over the Jaguars.

Impact Davis didn't garner any touches on offense as James Cook handled the entirety of the backfield work versus Jacksonville. Davis did return four kicks, the first of which he put on the ground, and it was recovered by the Jaguars. The running back will look to be more involved in the Bills' offensive attack in the AFC divisional round.

Runs for 151 in Week 18 Davis rushed 21 times for 151 yards while catching five of seven targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets. He also had a 22-yard kickoff return.

Impact Davis and Ty Johnson (56 scrimmage yards and two total touchdowns on 15 touches) both capitalized on increased workloads against the hapless Jets as James Cook didn't touch the ball after Buffalo's second offensive snap. Cook's expected to reclaim the lead role in Buffalo's backfield in the wild-card round, when the sixth-seeded Bills travel to Jacksonville. Davis' two-yard receiving touchdown in the third quarter from backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky was the second receiving score of the season for the 2024 fourth-round pick, but Davis finishes the regular season without a rushing touchdown.
