Is Ray Davis Still Worthy of a Dynasty Roster Spot?

Saturday, June 13, 12:12 PM

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis flashed upside as a rookie in 2024, finishing the year with 631 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 130 touches. However, Davis' production fell across the board in his second season in 2025, as he logged just 361 scrimmage yards and two scores on 68 touches. Buffalo chose to feature star running back James Cook III more heavily in 2025, and Davis also fell behind Ty Johnson on the Bills' running back depth chart. With former Bills play-caller Joe Brady being promoted to head coach, Cook III's usage seems unlikely to change in 2026. Because Johnson profiles as more of a receiving threat, Davis may be more likely than Johnson to take over the RB1 role if Cook III were to suffer an injury. Still, Davis and Johnson would likely split snaps to some degree in that scenario. Cook III has also been exceptionally durable in his career, missing just two games across his first four NFL seasons. Davis is worth stashing in deeper dynasty formats, but his handcuff upside may not be high enough to make him roster-worthy in shallower leagues.

Kaytron Allen in the Right Situation to Overcome Poor Draft Capital?

Wednesday, June 3, 5:33 AM

With rookie running back Kaytron Allen lasting all the way to pick number 187 of the 2026 NFL Draft before the Washington Commanders selected him in the sixth round, he landed in as ideal a situation as can be found for a late-Day 3 pick. No running back on the roster handled more than 37% of their team's carries last season, with the Commanders' leading rusher, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, himself a seventh-round pick in 2025. No stranger to working in a committee, Allen set the all-time Penn State rushing record while playing all four of his collegiate seasons alongside 2026 fifth-round pick Nicholas Singleton. In Washington, he will be battling veteran Jeremy McNichols for the third spot in a rotation alongside Croskey-Merritt and free agent signee Rachaad White, and with White potentially making McNichols' pass-catching role redundant, the edge could go to the rookie. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB40, Allen is not a flashy pick in the middle rounds of rookie-only drafts, but he has one of the clearer paths to immediate fantasy relevance, which is not a luxury to be overlooked in a generally unexciting draft class.
