Who Should I Start? Gabe Davis or Dont'e Thornton Jr.

Saturday, December 13, 9:54 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis has played in four games with the team this season after spending time on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury earlier in the season. Davis has played 53.8% of the offensive snaps, second-highest among Bills wideouts behind Khalil Shakir in that time, and has compiled seven receptions for 88 yards on 10 targets. The 26-year-old receiver is a trusted veteran who knows the Bills' offensive system and is a reliable blocker in the running game, which has earned him the right to be on the field more often than not. The floor for production isn't high for Davis in a spread-out and low-volume Bills passing attack, though, and he profiles as a deep-league flex option in Week 15 against the New England Patriots.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. (concussion) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Thornton was limited in practice to begin the week, but has been cleared to suit up after two straight full practice sessions. He's back in the mix after sitting out due to a concussion during last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. When healthy, Thornton is unlikely to be a significant contributor in what has been a bad Raiders offense. The 23-year-old has only eight receptions for 123 yards in 11 games this season. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help ahead of Vegas' tough road matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
