Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Davis should be just fine to play this Sunday in Week 6 in London against the Chicago Bears, but he won't be recommended in starting fantasy lineups, especially if tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) returns for the first time since Week 1. He played the most snaps among the team's wideouts in the Week 5 win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts, but it led to only three receptions (four targets) for 38 yards. The former Buffalo Bills wideout has yet to find the end zone in his first year in Jacksonville in 2024 and is outside the top 50 at the position in total fantasy points through the first five weeks. The Bears defense has also allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this year. Davis belong on benches or the waiver wire in Week 6.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) was once again limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Davis led all Jaguars receivers in offensive snaps in the Week 5 win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts, but it led to only three receptions on four targets for 38 yards. In his first year in Jacksonville, Davis has been more of an afterthought for the 1-4 Jags, catching 12 of 25 targets for 159 yards and no touchdowns. The 25-year-old's chances of breaking out this Sunday in London against a stout Chicago Bears defense don't seem great, especially if tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) returns for the first time since the season opener. Davis should be just fine to suit up in Week 6 this weekend, but fantasy managers should have better options to use in their flex spot. Davis isn't even among the top-50 receivers in half-PPR fantasy scoring through five weeks.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant yet again on Thursday. Davis has yet to practice in full this week, but nothing is pointing to him being in danger of missing the Week 5 divisional contest against the Indianapolis Colts. He has played in all four of the team's games in his first year with Jacksonville and has underwhelmed, catching just nine of his 21 targets for 121 yards and no touchdowns. Davis' worst performance came in last week's loss to the division-rival Houston Texans, when he caught one of five targets for a loss of two yards. He's been disappointing, to say the least, especially with tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) missing the last three games. As the No. 3 wideout behind Christian Kirk and rookie Brian Thomas Jr. in a struggling offense, it's hard to recommend Davis as anything more than a boom/bust, WR5/flex.
Oct 3, 2024 6:49 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder) is officially active for Week 4 versus the Houston Texans. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional contest. Davis has appeared in all three games this season, catching eight passes for 123 yards and zero touchdowns. At the moment, he's merely a bench stash in fantasy football.
Sep 29, 2024 12:16 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder) is expected to be on the field for Sunday's showdown against the Houston Texans. It doesn't appear the shoulder injury will be enough to keep him out of the lineup for Week 4. However, the 25-year-old has only eight catches for 123 yards throughout the first three games of the 2024-25 campaign. He has logged more snaps than any of the other Jags' wideouts. Still, he's hard to trust from a fantasy standpoint, although he remains a flex option, especially with Evan Engram (hamstring) sidelined again.
Sep 29, 2024 1:00 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder) is officially questionable for Week 4 after practicing in a limited fashion all week. The former Buffalo Bill hasn't had any of his patented boom games through three weeks, catching eight of 16 targets with zero touchdowns on the season. If Davis were to miss the game, Parker Washington or Devin Duvernay would be the primary candidates to take his place. With Evan Engram already ruled out and Davis potentially following suit, Trevor Lawrence would likely rely more on Brian Thomas Jr. and Christian Kirk. Given the offense's struggles and Davis's lack of significant impact, it's hard to boost the other receiving options whether Davis has a limited snap count or completely misses out, as the Houston secondary would focus even more on Jacksonville's top two receivers. Fantasy managers planning on taking a risk with Davis this week should still keep a close eye on his status despite him practicing all week.
Sep 28, 2024 10:55 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis serves as his usual boom-or-bust self in Week 4 against the Houston Texans. Davis has been earning targets but not turning them into much, going down in yardage each of the first three games. He also hasn't recorded more than three receptions. Last week against his former team in what could have been a revenge game, he disappointed, putting up just two receptions for 18 yards. Until the Jaguars offense improves, it will be hard to support multiple receiving options on a weekly basis. As a deep threat, it is extra hard to be fantasy relevant. The receiving core is wide open for someone to step up, but after three games that seems more likely to be Brian Thomas Jr., Christian Kirk, or even Evan Engram when he comes back from injury. Davis is best left on benches in Week 4 against the Texans.
Sep 28, 2024 1:55 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Davis is dealing with what seems to be a minor shoulder injury after he played 76% of the offensive snaps in the team's Week 3 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night. Unless he has a setback with his shoulder in practice later this week, he should be active for the Week 4 tilt against the division-rival Houston Texans. The 25-year-old former fourth-round pick by the Bills in 2020 out of Central Florida has been inefficient so far through three games in his first year in Jacksonville. Davis has caught just half of his 16 targets for 123 yards and currently carries a career-low 15.4 yards per catch in what has been a Jaguars offense that just hasn't figure it out yet. He caught two of six targets for a season-low 18 yards on Monday night.
Sep 25, 2024 8:39 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder) is considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury, according to head coach Doug Pederson. The former Buffalo Bill has seen 16 targets through his first three games with the Jaguars and has racked up 123 yards on eight receptions. His shoulder injury was not evident on Monday Night in the loss to Buffalo, but it doesn't sound as if the ailment is considered long-term. Either way, based on what we've seen thus far, he has limited upside as a part of a struggling offense led by Trevor Lawrence. Davis can continue to be stashed in deep leagues, but he's likely not worth rostering in traditional 10 or 12-team setups. Like when he was in Buffalo, he's mostly a touchdown-or-bust flex option in deep formats.
Sep 24, 2024 2:30 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis saw six targets against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night but could only turn those into two catches for 18 yards. Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas, Jr., saw most of the targets for the Jaguars as they were routed by the Bills in Buffalo. Davis was unable to get loose against his former team in this one. Even at his most productive in Buffalo, Davis was a boom-or-bust fantasy option. The big-play threat has yet to break free for a long catch from Trevor Lawrence this season. With Kirk and Thomas ahead of him on the receiving pecking order and tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) likely to take targets away from him upon his return, Davis is best left on the waiver wire.
Sep 24, 2024 9:08 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis is a risky flex play in Week 3, but a revenge game with the Buffalo Bills offers some unique upside if fantasy managers believe in that type of thing. Davis has been a boom-or-bust receiver his entire career, but he does currently lead the Jaguars in targets and is tied for the team lead in receptions with six. If the Jaguars offense can get it going on Monday night, he could be in line for a huge game. It is also just as likely he puts up a dud, but that is what fantasy managers signed up for when they drafted the former Bill. There are definitely safer plays, but Davis has interesting upside as a WR3/flex. While the Bills defense is better against the pass than the run, it is at least worth considering the veteran receiver for starting lineups in Week 3.
Sep 21, 2024 12:24 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) was spotted at Thursday's practice in training camp. Davis missed some time late last season with the Buffalo Bills due to a sprained PCL, but it looks like he'll be a full participant at camp to begin familiarizing himself with Jacksonville's offense ahead of the Aug. 10 preseason opener against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. The 25-year-old deep threat was as erratic as ever in 2023, going catchless in four games during the regular season and exceeding 20 fantasy points on five other occasions, and he'll battle for targets on the perimeter with rookie first-rounder Brian Thomas Jr. in 2024. Star quarterback Trevor Lawrence has formed a clear connection with slot man Christian Kirk over the past two years, so Davis is likely going to give both the Jags and fantasy managers plenty of headaches as a weekly boom-or-bust WR4/flex option this fall.
Jul 26, 2024 2:58 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) should be cleared for training camp this summer. The same can be said for defensive lineman Arik Armstead (knee), who is also recovering from a knee injury this offseason. Davis signed a three-year, $39 million deal with the Jaguars in March after spending the first four years of his career with the Buffalo Bills. The 25-year-old deep threat had at least six touchdowns in all four of his seasons in the league, but he's been extremely inconsistent and finished 2023 with 45 catches for 746 yards in 17 regular-season games. Davis will be locked in as a starter in a very capable Jacksonville offense, but he'll be competing for targets with Christian Kirk, first-rounder Brian Thomas and tight end Evan Engram and will likely continue to be a boom-or-bust fantasy asset at wide receiver.
Jun 3, 2024 2:06 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) is working through an injury, so the team hasn't been able to see much from him yet after adding him in free agency this offseason. Davis missed the postseason last year with the Buffalo Bills due to a knee injury that he suffered in the Week 18 season finale against the Miami Dolphins, and apparently it's still an issue. While we don't expect the injury to keep him from participating in training camp or being ready for the start of the 2024 season, it's bad news for a player looking to learn a new offense in Jacksonville. The 25-year-old is another strong offensive situation in Jacksonville, but he'll face competition for targets from Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas and tight end Evan Engram, likely making him a boom/bust fantasy option yet again.
May 10, 2024 1:18 PM EST
The Jacksonville Jaguars believe that new wide receiver Gabe Davis can do a lot of different things in their offense in 2024. "Gabe is, to me, like a Swiss Army knife. He can obviously run routes, the guy is right around 81-82 targets a year for the last four years if you average them out. He's a big part of the offense in Buffalo," head coach Doug Pederson said about Davis. The 25-year-old averaged 87 targets the last two years in Buffalo and caught 163 passes for 2,730 yards (26.7 yards per catch) and 27 touchdowns in four years with the Bills. With Calvin Ridley now with the Titans, the Jags will have to make up for the 136 targets he drew in 2023. Davis has big-play ability, but he'll be competing for targets with Christian Kirk, Zay Jones and Evan Engram and probably is going to be a boom-or-bust fantasy wideout again in 2024 with his new team.
Apr 3, 2024 2:02 PM EST
Former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis is signing what is expected to be a three-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a source. This will officially close the book on the Jaguars re-signing Calvin Ridley, who is also a free agent this offseason. In Jacksonville, Davis will join Christian Kirk and Zay Jones in starting three-wide sets, giving him plenty of fantasy upside. However, the 24-year-old former fourth-round pick of the Bills in 2020 out of Central Florida is as boom-or-bust as they come for fantasy purposes, and that probably isn't going to change much in his new home. Davis missed both of Buffalo's playoff games and finished the regular season with 45 receptions for 746 yards and a career-high tying seven touchdowns. He has scored at least six TDs in each of his four NFL seasons, but consistency has been an issue and he has a tendency to disappear completely.
Mar 11, 2024 1:30 PM EST
Buffalo Bills impending free-agent wide receiver Gabe Davis could be pushed off the roster this offseason, according to The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia. The Bills have long been admirers of Davis' talent, but he's likely to receive the biggest contract of any Bills free agent in March, and he's already stated he intends to test the open market. He's only 25, and it wouldn't be a surprise if Davis received a deal topping what Jakobi Meyers got last offseason ($11 million APY). The hefty price tag, coupled with Davis' on-field inconsistency in 2023, is expected to push him off the roster in 2024. Davis failed to provide the big-play option opposite Stefon Diggs that Buffalo needed late in the year. He finished with seven touchdowns but disappeared more often than not and didn't even play in either of the team's two playoff games due to a knee injury.
Feb 22, 2024 10:12 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis said he expects to reach free agency in March. He also said he'd be open to re-signing with the Bills, but also noted how the whole 2023 season went "and there was nothing" in terms of extension talks. Davis missed both of the team's playoff games due to a sprained PCL he suffered in the Week 18 win over the Miami Dolphins and disappeared far too frequently during the regular season for the Bills to be thrilled to offer him a new contract for 2024 and beyond. The 24-year-old has proven to be an unpredictable boom/bust fantasy wideout, finishing this past season with 45 catches for 746 yards and a career-high-tying seven touchdowns in 17 games. Davis has scored at least six touchdowns in all four of his NFL seasons, but leaving Buffalo would be bad news for his already shaky touchdown-dependent fantasy value.
Jan 22, 2024 12:58 PM EST
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) will not play in the Divisional Round playoff game on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Davis will miss his second straight playoff game after spraining the PCL in his knee in the Week 18 win over the Miami Dolphins. Davis' absence didn't really make a difference in the easy wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it could be a factor against a strong Chiefs secondary this weekend. With the 24-year-old sidelined again, Khalil Shakir, who had three catches for 31 yards and a touchdown against Pittsburgh, should be more involved again and will be a consideration as a low-cost DFS play at the receiver position. Tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox should be more involved as well.
Jan 19, 2024 12:04 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday. Davis suffered a PCL sprain in the Week 18 win over the Miami Dolphins, missed practice all of last week and didn't play in the wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday. The 24-year-old is now trending toward missing his second straight playoff game unless he can get back on the practice field on Friday. If he practices on Friday and is active on Sunday, he'll be a pretty risky DFS lineup option against a stout Kansas City Chiefs secondary in the Divisional Round. Khalil Shakir, who had three catches for 31 yards and a touchdown in the win over Pittsburgh, will be worth DFS consideration again at a low cost of $3,800 at DraftKings if Davis is out again this weekend.
