Who Should I Start? Zay Jones or Gabe Davis

Saturday, September 6, 11:01 AM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones hasn't exactly been fantasy-relevant since his best season with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2022. Outside of that year, he's gone for more than 600 yards once, back in 2018 with the Buffalo Bills. Last year with the Cardinals, Jones appeared in 11 games and received 11 targets, which turned into eight receptions for 84 yards. He seems to be headed for more of the same this season, as the RotoBaller rankers slotted him in at WR113 for this season. For their Week 1 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, Jones is projected to get 2.3 fantasy points, which leaves him well off of the fantasy radar.

The Buffalo Bills reunited with veteran wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) earlier this week, but he'll open the season on the practice squad injured list. Davis is still on the mend from a torn left meniscus he suffered last season as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now 26 years old, Davis spent 2020-23 with the Bills, averaging approximately 41 catches, 683 yards, and seven touchdowns per season during that run. He parlayed his Buffalo production into a three-year, $39 million deal with the Jaguars in free agency, but they released him after he fell flat in 2024. Davis caught just 20 of 42 targets for 239 yards and two scores in 10 games with the Jags before the meniscus injury ended his season in mid-November. The Bills are starting this season with Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Tyrell Shavers as their receivers. It's conceivable that Davis could replace someone from the back end of that group once he recovers.
