Ray Davis Active for Week 4 Against New England

Sunday, October 4, 7:48 AM

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. For now, this news likely has more special teams implications than anything else, as Davis has totaled three kick returns and one offensive touch this season. He operated on a measly 8% snap share last week, putting him behind both James Cook III and Ty Johnson in the pecking order. As long as Cook and Johnson are healthy, there's no reason that he should be rostered in redraft leagues. He's also getting closer to being a cut candidate in dynasty formats.

CJ Donaldson Unlikely to See Fantasy-Relevant Workload in Week 7

Saturday, October 24, 5:49 AM

Across six games so far in 2026, New Orleans Saints running back CJ Donaldson has recorded 91 yards from scrimmage on 21 touches. The 22-year-old has played a regular role in his team's backfield rotation on third downs. He's also started to earn a few more touches of late, recording a season-high six carries and 39 rushing yards in Week 6 against the New York Giants. However, Donaldson is still competing with Kendre Miller and Alvin Kamara for snaps and touches in the Saints backfield. The Saints will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7, who profile as a much tougher run defense than the Giants. With all three backs likely to get their chance against the Pittsburgh, Donaldson is tough for fantasy managers to trust as a starter.
