Who Should I Start? Antonio Gibson or Ray Davis

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson (toe) returned to practice in a full capacity on Friday. As a result, he has been removed from the final injury report and will play in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans. This news doesn't mean much for fantasy football, as it has become clear this season that Gibson isn't going to be a dependable option for as long as Rhamondre Stevenson is healthy. Averaging just 29.6 rushing yards and 14.9 receiving yards per game this season, Gibson lacks fantasy appeal.

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Ray Davis has had his moments in his first year in the NFL, but he'll be a low-upside deep-league flex option for fantasy managers in a Week 11 showdown against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs and their stingy defense. Not only will Davis continue to have limited volume behind lead back James Cook, but the Chiefs defense has allowed the fewest half-PPR fantasy points to RBs through 10 weeks in 2024. The 25-year-old played only 11 of the team's 74 offensive snaps in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts, finishing with three carries for six yards. Davis is an explosive back and is one of the better stashes at the position in fantasy, especially if you have Cook rostered, but in terms of weekly value, he leaves a lot to be desired with limited usage. He's averaging 4.2 yards per carry on 64 attempts for 268 yards and two TDs in his first 10 NFL games.
