Who Should I Start? Ray Davis or Dylan Sampson

Saturday, November 15, 12:34 PM

After an encouraging rookie season in 2024, Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has seen his role in his team's offense decline significantly so far in 2025. Through nine games, Davis has logged just 24 carries for 44 yards. The 26-year-old logged seven offensive snaps in Buffalo's Week 10 loss to Miami and has played double-digit snaps in only three games this season. With Bills running backs James Cook and Ty Johnson both healthy and ready to go for the team's Week 11 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there's not much reason for fantasy managers to think Davis' role will be significantly different. Davis maintains some value as a handcuff option for Cook, but he's not worth starting in fantasy in Week 11.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson has shown some ability in the passing attack when given the chance this season, hauling in at least five passes twice this season. He will look to stay active through the air in a Week 11 home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have struggled against running backs this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Sampson doesn't have a guaranteed workload behind fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins, who carried the ball 22 times in a loss to the New York Jets in Week 10. Fantasy managers counting on Sampson will have to hope he does his damage through the air against the Ravens, which is entirely possible if the Browns get down early and have to abandon the run. Sampson sets up as a low-end flex option in PPR leagues for this weekend.
