Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Ray Davis

Sunday, November 2, 10:15 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been playing through a calf injury in recent weeks, but he looked fully healthy in the Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. Jacobs led the backfield with 17 carries for 87 yards (5.1 yards per tote) and a touchdown, scoring for the fifth straight week and for the 10th time on the ground in eight games. Green Bay's loss to the Cleveland Browns back on Sept. 21 was the only time in 2025 so far in which Jacobs has not scored a rushing TD. In the last five games, the veteran back has 354 rushing yards and nine rushing scores. He also caught four of his five targets in the passing game for 13 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Carolina. Jacobs has gone over 100 scrimmage yards in three straight games. Despite a tough upcoming matchup in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Jacobs will remain a must-start RB in fantasy football.

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis hasn't had the season he was hoping for in 2025, but that could change in Week 10 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins this Sunday. The Bills announced that RB James Cook (ankle, foot) will not practice, which leaves his status up in the air for the weekend. Speculative fantasy managers in need of an RB this week with four teams on bye might want to look to Davis or Ty Johnson if Cook's injury is serious enough to sideline him against Miami. The 25-year-old played only 5% of the offensive snaps in the win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, and he didn't receive a single carry. Davis has been the RB3 for most of the year behind Cook and Johnson, carrying the ball just 22 times for 46 yards and catching three of his five targets for 18 yards in eight games. However, he'd be much more involved in a great matchup against the Dolphins if Cook cannot suit up.
