Ray Davis Strengthening His Handcuff Case

Friday, August 28, 10:08 AM

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has strengthened his case as a late-round handcuff after a productive preseason. Davis turned seven touches into 53 scrimmage yards against Carolina, then started with James Cook III resting against Cleveland and handled seven carries for 21 yards and a touchdown while adding a 10-yard reception. Ty Johnson (lower leg) has also missed more than two weeks of practice, although he has resumed sprinting and could still be available for Week 1. Davis remains unlikely to see dependable standalone volume behind Cook, who won the 2025 rushing title with 1,621 yards. The 5-foot-8, 211-pound back carried only 58 times for 275 yards last season, but he showed what he can do with a larger workload in Week 18. Davis rushed 21 times for 151 yards and caught two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown against the Jets while Cook handled only two carries. Thursday's muffed punt against Pittsburgh was an ugly finish to the preseason, but it does not change the offensive case. Davis has reinforced his value as Cook's primary rushing insurance and a worthwhile late-round target in deeper redraft leagues.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. News

Tyrone Tracy Jr. in a Non-Contact Jersey on Tuesday

Tuesday, September 1, 1:29 PM

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (neck) was participating in a red, non-contact jersey at Tuesday's practice, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Tracy is practicing this week, albeit in limited fashion, after suffering a stinger in the preseason finale last Friday. He managed to avoid a major injury going into the start of the 2026 regular season, but Tracy's fantasy stock is down for other reasons. The Giants signed veteran back Najee Harris last week, and they envision him having a big role in their backfield, which means more competition for touches for the 26-year-old Tracy. The G-Men also have Cam Skattebo, who is expected to lead the backfield in early-down work in his sophomore season. Tracy had 839 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 192 carries, adding 38 catches for 284 yards and a TD as a receiver in 17 games as a rookie, but he regressed to 740 rushing yards and two TDs on 176 carries in 2025, adding 36 receptions for 288 yards and two receiving scores in 15 games. On top of the presence of Harris, Tracy might not be 100% healthy going into a Week 1 showdown against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. RotoBaller has Tracy currently ranked as the No. 68 fantasy RB.
