Who Should I Start? Ray Davis or Omarion Hampton

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.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Alex Insdorf of the Bolt Beat. Hampton has been sidelined since Week 5, and it was recently reported that he was dealing with a fractured ankle. The rookie first-rounder was listed as limited every day in practice this week, and will need at least another week before he's ready to go. It's also possible that Hampton operates in a timeshare with second-year back Kimani Vidal when he returns, as indicated by offensive coordinator Greg Roman. That could limit the rookie's rest of season upside, but he was producing at a high level before going down with injury, recording 66 carries for 314 yards and two touchdowns along with 20 receptions (22 targets) for 136 yards as a receiver. Vidal is in line to handle the bulk of the touches again in Week 13 against the Raiders.
