Bills' Ray Davis: Tough night in final exhibition contest
Davis didn't receive a touch on offense but gained 11 yards on two punt returns while losing a fumble in Thursday's 28-27 preseason win over the Steelers.
His muffed punt return at the Buffalo 12-yard line in the first quarter led directly to Pittsburgh's first TD of the game on the very next play. It was a tough way for Davis to end his preseason, but the third-year RB has never returned a punt in his NFL career. Davis' spot as the No. 2 back behind James Cook seems fairly secure however, after he averaged 4.7 yards on 58 carries over 17 regular-season games last year.

Bills' Ray Davis: Scores in second preseason game
Davis rushed seven times for 21 yards and a touchdown while adding a 10-yard catch on his lone target in Saturday's 31-7 preseason win over the Browns.
Davis got the start at running back due to James Cook resting. Davis, a 2024 fourth-round pick, capped Buffalo's opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run and stayed in for the team's second possession. Cook will continue to lead Buffalo's backfield in the regular season as long as he's healthy, but Davis would be a must-roster fantasy option running behind Buffalo's elite offensive line if Cook gets hurt.

Bills' Ray Davis: Seven touches in preseason opener
Davis carried the ball three times for 21 yards and caught all four of his targets for 32 yards in Saturday's 29-14 preseason win over the Panthers.
James Cook got the start in the backfield during the Bills' preseason opener and played the whole first quarter, but Davis was the next RB into the game and had a very productive day. Davis' numbers as a pass-catcher were surprising considering that the third-year back has just 27 career catches in 34 regular-season contests, but new offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael has suggested that Cook could see more usage as a receiver in 2026, and Davis might benefit from that wrinkle in the scheme as well when he's on the field.

Bills' Ray Davis: Returns after brief exit
Davis was able to check back into Tuesday's practice after briefly exiting with an apparent ankle injury, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Davis was slow to get up after getting tackled to the ground on a run during 11-on-11 drills, with team trainers coming out on the field to evaluate him before he was able to walk to the sideline under his own power. After a quick trip to the medical tent, Davis was back on the field, albeit with a taped-up ankle. His availability doesn't look like it will be much of a concern moving forward.

Bills' Ray Davis: 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 Syracuse.com reports.
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 utility into 2026, but he remains a valuable backup who excels as a kicker returner. If Cook were to miss time, 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.

Bills' Ray Davis: 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.
Davis also recorded five kickoff returns for 130 yards versus Denver, but he didn't get a carry. 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 carried the ball 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 took a seat after the second offensive snap. Cook, Johnson and Davis all remain under contract with the Bills for 2026.

Bills' Ray Davis: 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.
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.

Bills' Ray Davis: Runs for 151 in Week 18
Davis rushed 21 times for 151 yards while catching both of his targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets. He also had a 22-yard kickoff return.
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 is certain 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 finished the regular season without a rushing touchdown.

Bills' Ray Davis: Two touches vs. Philly
Davis caught his lone target for 12 yards and rushed once for four yards during Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Eagles. He added 84 kick-return yards on three attempts.
Davis played nine offensive snaps during Sunday's loss and received a carry for the second consecutive game. The second-year pro from Kentucky has now rushed 37 times for 124 yards and caught eight of 11 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown through 16 games this season. He's been one of the NFL's most dynamic kick returners, averaging 30.7 yards per return and totaling 921 yards on the year. Expect Davis to remain a depth option in the Bills' backfield while contributing on special teams in the Week 18 matchup against the Jets, though he could see extra action if the Bills decide to ease back on starters like James Cook now that the AFC East title is out of reach for the playoff-bound Bills.
