May benefit from Jones' departure
Davis looks to have a top-three role at receiver to open the 2024 season after the Jaguars released Zay Jones on Tuesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: With both Jones and Calvin Ridley -- who led the team with 1,016 receiving yards last season -- no longer on the roster, Christian Kirk, Davis and first-round pick Brian Thomas represent the clear starters in the position group, while Parker Washington, Tim Jones, Devin Duvernay and Elijah Cooks are on hand as depth options. While with the Bills in 2023, Davis recorded 45 catches (on 81 targets) for 746 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 regular-season outings. In his new locale, the…read more

In line to sign with Jacksonville
Davis (knee) is slated to sign a three-year deal with the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Davis, who is presumably past the knee issue that sidelined him for the Bills' two postseason games, thus is in line to join a Jacksonville wide receiver corps that also includes Christian Kirk and Zay Jones, while Calvin Ridley is poised to become a free agent. If Ridley heads elsewhere, Davis should step into a key role with the Jaguars on the heels of logging 45 catches (on 81 targets) for 746 yards and seven TDs in 17 regular-season outings with Buffalo in 2023.

Doesn't expect to be re-signed
Davis (knee) said Monday he'd be open to returning to Buffalo but that he expects to hit free agency this offseason, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Davis, who missed both of the Bills' playoff games due to a knee injury suffered Week 18, said "there was nothing" in terms of extension talks with the team during the 2023 season. The wideout also said he'd have played this weekend if Buffalo had advanced to the AFC Championship Game, per Getzenberg, an indication that Davis will be fully healthy by the time free agency officially kicks off in March. Across 17 regular-season appearances in 2023, Davis secured 45 of 81 targets for 746 yards and…read more

Won't be available vs. Chiefs
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Davis (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Chiefs, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Davis has yet to practice since injuring his knee Week 18 against the Dolphins, so it's unsurprising to see him ruled out for another contest. It remains to be seen if he'll have a better chance of returning for the AFC Championship Game, should Buffalo emerge victorious over Kansas City and advance that far. With Davis sidelined again, expect Khalil Shakir and Trent Sherfield to handle increased roles in the receiving corps behind Stefon Diggs.

No practice Thursday
Davis (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Davis has yet to be listed as anything other than a DNP on Bills injury reports since hurting his knee Week 18 at Miami. The wideout missed Buffalo's wild-card win against the Steelers as a result, and he may be in danger of being a spectator for Sunday's divisional-round game versus the Chiefs with no activity to speak of so far this week. If Davis ultimately isn't able to suit up, Khalil Shakir and Trent Sherfield will be the beneficiaries at wide receiver alongside Stefon Diggs.

Not practicing
Davis (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Analysis: Though the wideout will open the week of practice as a non-participant, head coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that he considers Davis to be day-to-day. Davis suffered a PCL sprain Week 18 and then missed the wild-card round of the playoffs, with Khalil Shakir and Trent Sherfield thus handling larger snap shares than usual in a 31-17 win over the Steelers on Monday. The Bills seemingly have at least some degree of hope that Davis can return for Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Chiefs.

Considered day-to-day
Davis (knee) is considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against Kansas City, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Head coach Sean McDermott said the same about nearly all of his team's injured players, so practice participation this week will be telling. Davis didn't practice last week and was ruled out for an eventual wild-card win over Pittsburgh on Monday, with Khalil Shakir working as Buffalo's No. 2 WR and Trent Sherfield as the No. 3. Davis suffered a PCL sprain during a Week 18 win over Miami.

Ruled out for playoff opener
Head coach Sean McDermott has ruled Davis (knee) out for Sunday's playoff opener against the Steelers.
Analysis: Davis was listed as a non-participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, and now that he's been deemed unavailable for Sunday's contest, the wideout will target a potential return to action in the divisional round, should Buffalo advance. In Davis' looming absence, look for Khalil Shakir and Trent Sherfield to see added opportunities behind top wideout Stefon Diggs this weekend while contending with inclement weather conditions at Highmark Stadium, per Patrick Warren of the team's…read more

Idle for another practice
Davis (knee) isn't practicing Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With consecutive absences from practice to begin the week, Davis doesn't appear to be trending toward being available for Sunday's wild-card game against the Steelers. Davis, who exited the Bills' Week 18 win over the Dolphins with a PCL sprain, will likely need to get back on the practice field in some capacity Friday to have any shot at suiting up this weekend.

Won't practice Wednesday
Davis (knee) isn't scheduled to participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Analysis: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Davis is dealing with a PCL sprain after suffering the injury in the Bills' 21-14 win over the Dolphins in Week 18. While Davis' injury isn't considered a major concern, head coach Sean McDermott told Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com that the wideout is considered day-to-day as Sunday's wild-card playoff contest against the Steelers approaches.

Dealing with sprained PCL
Davis (knee) was diagnosed Modnay with a sprained PCL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The injury isn't considered major, Rapoport adds, while noting that Davis' status for Sunday's wild-card playoff game against the Steelers has yet to be determined. Davis exited in the first half of this past Sunday's win over the Dolphins and was ruled out at halftime, returning to the sideline in street clothes to watch the rest of the game. Khalil Shakir and Trent Sherfield took on larger offensive roles in Davis' absence and would do so again if Davis sits out the playoff opener.

Ruled out for rest of Week 18
Davis (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Davis was originally deemed questionable to return after exiting in the first half, but he was subsequently ruled out at halftime. He finishes the regular season with 45 catches for 746 yards and seven touchdowns. The 24-year-old wide receiver will look to recover in time for the wild-card round, as Buffalo has clinched a playoff berth regardless of Sunday night's result.

Questionable to return in Miami
Davis (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Davis didn't catch his only target prior to getting injured in the first half. If Davis is unable to return to Sunday's regular-season finale, he'll finish the regular season with 45 catches on 80 targets for 746 yards and seven touchdowns.

Quiet game as offense struggles
Davis caught two passes for 21 yards on three targets in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: New England's defensive game plan had the entire Bills offense in a difficult spot, with Josh Allen producing just 169 yards and one interception through the air and the leading rusher (James Cook) held to 48 yards. Perhaps the Bills would have thrown with more urgency if the Patriots offense had proved more threatening, but in this game the Buffalo defense did most of the necessary lifting, producing four turnovers and scoring on one. A road game against Miami in Week 18 could require more…read more

Breaks out of slump
Davis recorded four receptions on six targets for 130 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's 24-22 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Davis entered Saturday's contest having recorded zero catches in four of his last six games, but he was the key to Buffalo's passing attack in Saturday's win. He accounted for each of the team's four longest gains from scrimmage, the highlight of which was a 57-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter, when he got behind the Los Angeles secondary and dragged a defender into the end zone. Davis is the epitome of a boom-bust fantasy option, as he's now topped 100 receiving yards in two of…read more

Held catchless again
Davis failed to reel in his lone target in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Davis was held without a catch for the second straight week and for the fourth time this season. The veteran wideout saw just one target in the contest, despite playing the most offensive snaps (49) of any Bills pass catcher. Davis' lack of consistency in Buffalo's offense makes him extremely difficult to trust in lineups during the fantasy playoffs.

Shut out yet again
Davis was held without a catch on two targets in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: While Davis posted a slick 6-105-1 line in Week 12 heading into the Bills' bye, he's now been shut out in two out of the last three contests. He's become an all-or-nothing type of fantasy play -- he has six or more catches in four outings this season but three or less in the other nine games. He's also fallen behind high-upside rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid in the pecking order, seemingly putting Davis as the No. 4 option in the passing game once you factor in Stefon Diggs and running back…read more

Season-best numbers in OT loss
Davis caught six of 12 targets for 105 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: It was the best performance of the season for Davis in terms of yardage, but despite his impressive totals it was one of the balls that he didn't catch that could haunt the Bills -- on 3rd-and-six from the Eagles' 22-yard line in OT, Josh Allen tried to beat a blitz by throwing to a wide-open Davis for what would have been a game-winning TD, but the receiver turned the wrong way while the ball was in the air. The fourth-year wideout heads into Buffalo's bye with six touchdowns, one short of…read more

Not targeted Week 11
Davis failed to draw a target in Sunday's 32-6 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Davis was held without a target for the first time this season and went without a reception for the second time in 11 appearances. Despite playing the most offensive snaps (67) of any Bills receiver, the veteran could not connect with Josh Allen in what ended up being a blowout victory. Davis has proven to be a talented playmaker in his time with Buffalo, but his lack of consistency makes him difficult to trust on a weekly basis.

Team-high yardage tally in loss
Davis brought in two of six targets for 56 yards in the Bills' 24-22 loss to the Broncos on Monday night. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.
Analysis: Davis' yardage total, relatively modest as it was, still served as a team-high figure on a night when Josh Allen threw for only 177 yards. The speedy wideout also recorded the longest gain of the night through the air for Buffalo in the form via a 38-yard grab, and he managed to give a minor boost to his fantasy production with his two-point conversion catch following Dalton Kincaid's second-quarter touchdown.

Held catchless in loss
Davis failed to reel in either of his two targets in Sunday's 24-18 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: A week after recording season highs in both targets (12) and receptions (nine), Davis was held without a catch for the first time in 2023. His low volume on a night when Josh Allen attempted 38 passes is concerning, but Davis has seen five targets or fewer in six of nine games this year. With that said, he's always a threat to find the end zone, as he has amassed five touchdowns through those nine games. The 24-year-old's inconsistency makes him difficult to trust in fantasy, but he's proven…read more

Season-high reception total in win
Davis brought in nine of 12 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 24-18 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.
Analysis: Davis tied with Stefon Diggs for the team lead in receptions and targets while checking in second in receiving yards. The speedster also produced his fifth touchdown of the season on a four-yard scoring grab in the third quarter, and his catch total was highest of the campaign. Davis' night represented a major resurgence from his season-worst one-catch, six-yard effort against the Patriots in Week 7, and he could once again play a major role in a Week 9 road matchup against the Bengals on…read more

Quiet in loss
Davis caught one of five targets for six yards in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Davis struggled to get much going Sunday despite seeing the third-most targets and playing the most offensive snaps (68) of any Bills pass catcher. After a strong start to the season, the wideout has cooled down over the past two weeks, with his six yards setting a new low mark so far in 2023. Nonetheless, Davis will look to bounce back Week 8, when the Bills host the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

Down game ends TD streak
Davis caught three of four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Davis' impressive touchdown streak came to an abrupt halt at four games following Sunday's stinker. The deep threat finished with his lowest yardage total of the season while also coughing up a fumble, barely scraping together a positive score in most fantasy formats. Even with the rough outing, Davis still owns a respectable 24-362-4 receiving line on 30 targets through six weeks.

TD streak at four games
Davis caught six of eight targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: The fourth-year wideout did most of his damage in the second half as the Bills tried to mount a comeback, hauling in a 19-yard TD with just over four minutes left in the fourth quarter. The score extended Davis' touchdown streak to four games, a stretch in which he's posted a 16-288-4 line on 22 targets. While he's still the No. 2 option for Josh Allen behind Stefon Diggs, there's more than enough production available in the Buffalo passing game for both receivers. Davis stands an excellent…read more

Scores again in big win
Davis brought in all three targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 48-20 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Davis saw fellow wideout Stefon Diggs steal the spotlight with a 6-120-3 line on the day, but it was actually the former that scored the first six of Buffalo's 48 points on an 18-yard touchdown grab to cap off the first drive of the afternoon.

Two-game TD streak
Davis caught one of four targets for a 35-yard touchdown and rushed once for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 37- 3 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Davis' 35-yard touchdown in the first quarter gave him a receiving score in consecutive games, but he failed to record another catch in the blowout win. Stefon Diggs has 32 targets to Davis' 15 through three games, but the Bills may need big games from both of Josh Allen's top two wide receivers in Week 4 to keep pace with an undefeated Dolphins team coming off a 70-point performance.

Shows off playmaking ability
Davis recorded six receptions on seven targets for 92 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Davis bounced back from a quiet Week 1 performance to deliver a few big plays in Buffalo's blowout win. He accounted for the team's longest gain from scrimmage with a 40-yard catch down the right sideline late in the fourth quarter. Earlier in the contest, Davis caught a two-yard touchdown to put the Bills up 28-10. He was a boom-bust player in a full-time role in 2022, and a similar outcome appears on tap for the current campaign.

Two catches in Week 1 loss
Davis caught two of four targets for 32 yards in Monday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Davis was blanketed by arguably the best secondary in the NFL and finished a distant second on the Bills in receiving yards behind Stefon Diggs (102). Buffalo's No. 2 wide receiver behind Diggs should have better days ahead, beginning with a Week 2 home game against the Raiders. The inconsistent Davis was held under 40 yards eight times last season, but he had at least 74 yards and a touchdown in four of his seven other appearances.

Davis caught one of four targets for 15 yards in Saturday's preseason game at Chicago.
Analysis: Davis and a number of other starters played two or three drives, while superstars Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs came out after RB Damien Harris scored a TD on the opening series. Davis gets a tough matchup to start the regular season with Buffalo traveling to the Meadowlands for Monday Night Football against a Jets defense led by CBs Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed. Last year, Davis caught five of nine targets for 64 yards in two matchups with the Jets.

Feels better than last season
Davis said Thursday that he feels much healthier entering the 2023 season compared to last year, when he fought through a nagging ankle injury for much of the season, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Said Davis, "But for me, I just felt like I lost a step. Really couldn't do the things that I wanted to do that I was doing early that camp and then the first game or in practice and stuff. So it definitely was something that I was struggling with mentally just having that pain on my ankle, trying to figure out ways to get my head out of it and kind of just play my game."
Analysis: Davis missed action in Week 2 and in Week 17, the latter when he was rested for the playoffs, but otherwise gutted through the injury, perhaps more than the public knew during a 48-836-7 regular season. That was still his best of three NFL campaigns, but one that was seen as a disappointment by many given his starting role in a top offense. He's got almost no competition for the No. 2 role this season, which makes Davis a decent bounce-back candidate for 2023.

Only two grabs in defeat
Davis caught two of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals in the AFC divisional round.
Analysis: Davis had an impressive catch of 25 yards toward the end of the second quarter, but overall he was one of many Bills offensive weapons to struggle in the snow. In fact, top wideout Stefon Diggs didn't fare much better than Davis, catching four passes for only 35 yards.

Davis caught six of nine targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round.
Analysis: Davis' display was highlighted by a toe-tapping, 23-yard touchdown during the third quarter to extend Buffalo's lead. After exploding for 201 yards and four touchdowns in last January's divisional-round loss to the Chiefs, Davis made another strong impact while returning to the postseason Sunday. With both he and Stefon Diggs topping 100 receiving yards, the Bills' starting wideouts now approach the AFC divisional round in fine form.

Big things were expected from Davis in his third NFL season after he broke out last postseason, but Buffalo's No. 2 wide receiver struggled to find consistency en route to 48 catches for 836 yards and seven touchdowns on 93 targets.

Records touchdown in Week 16 win
Davis brought in three of six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 35-13 win over the Bears on Saturday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Davis led the Bills in receiving yards on the windy, frigid day at Soldier Field, and he erased an early 7-0 deficit with a 19-yard scoring grab just past the midway point of the first quarter. Davis tied his career high with what was his seventh touchdown catch of the campaign, and he now has at least three receptions in six of the last seven contests. Davis next takes aim at a tough Bengals secondary in a critical Week 17 road matchup on Monday night, Jan. 2.

Davis recorded four receptions on six targets for 56 yards in Saturday's 32-29 win over Miami.
Analysis: Davis finished third on the Bills in each of targets, receptions and yards. He did the majority of his damage on a pair of catches that went for 21 and 15 yards but was ultimately overshadowed by a big game from Dawson Knox. Davis has now been held under 60 receiving yards in six of his last eight games, and he has only two touchdowns in that span.

Three catches in Week 14
Davis caught three of four targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jets.

Analysis: The third-year receiver took a back seat to Stefon Diggs and Isaiah McKenzie in this one, as he failed to reach 40 receiving yards for the third time in the last five games.

Davis brought in five of seven targets for 68 yards in the Bills' 31-23 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: Davis checked in second in receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon for the Bills while sharing the team lead in targets with Dawson Knox. The speedster also had a drop that would have made his day even bigger, but he'll still head into Thursday's return to Ford Field for a Week 12 Thanksgiving showdown against the Lions with an 11-161-1 line over his last two games.

Finds end zone in OT loss
Davis caught six of nine targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Davis scored from 11 yards out with 28 seconds left in the first half to give the Bills a 24-10 lead, but Minnesota came back in the second half and pulled it out in overtime as Buffalo's offense was bogged down by a trio of Josh Allen turnovers. It has been an up-and-down season for Davis, who has 352 receiving yards and four touchdowns across his best three games -- including this one -- and only 192 yards with one touchdown over the other five. He'll maintain a high ceiling when the Bills…read more

Only two catches in loss
Davis caught two of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Davis was kept in check by the stingy Jets secondary. His big-play ability coupled with Josh Allen's arm strength give Davis an immense ceiling, but his floor is far lower than that of Stefon Diggs, who led the team in targets (10), catches (five) and receiving yards (93). Davis and the Bills will host the Vikings in Week 10.

Contained on seven targets
Davis had two receptions (seven targets) for 35 yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Davis was held in check after exploding for 185 yards and three touchdowns in the two games before returning from the bye week. Green Bay boasts one of the best secondaries in the NFL, so it was going to be a tough matchup for Josh Allen's favorite downfield threat. Top corners Jaire Alexander and Rasul Douglas each made huge breakups on deep balls to Davis at different points of the contest, one of which would have been a signature long bomb for a score had Davis been able to get his second…read more

Finds end zone Sunday
Davis caught three of six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: While he didn't see anywhere near the volume Stefon Diggs did, Davis still made a big impact on the game, scoring Buffalo's first TD of the afternoon on a 34-yard rocket down the sideline from Josh Allen. It was his third TD catch in the last two weeks, all of them 34 yards or greater. The third-year wideout continues his breakout campaign, and Davis will head into Buffalo's Week 7 bye on pace for over 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Flashes elite wheels in win
Davis secured three of six targets for 171 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills' 38-3 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Davis comfortably led the Bills in receiving yards thanks to 98- and 62-yard touchdown grabs in the first and second quarters, respectively, a pair of plays where his elite speed was on display. The two splash scores should put any doubts as to the health of Davis' previously ailing ankle to rest, and he'll next take aim at the Chiefs' defense in a Week 6 road showdown that should feature plenty of aggressive offense.

Full practice participant
Davis (ankle) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Davis turned in his first full practice since Week 1, setting the stage for him to enter Sunday's game against the Steelers without an injury designation. He's averaging only 4.7 targets through three appearances, but there's rebound potential now that Davis is healthier and fellow Bills wide receivers Jamison Crowder (ankle) and Isaiah McKenzie (concussion) are injured.

Limited to one catch Sunday
Davis secured one of three targets for 13 yards in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: The speedster was again questionable with an ankle issue coming into the day, but he was able to play through it without any obvious limitations. However, the Ravens' defense made life more difficult than usual on Josh Allen, leading to Davis' meager showing. He'll look to bounce back from his season-low totals at the expense of the Steelers defense in a Week 5 home matchup.

Davis (ankle), officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Davis logged a pair of limited practices throughout the week, which came Wednesday and Friday. He played through the same ankle issue in Week 3 and hauled in three of six targets for 37 yards in a relatively disappointing performance. However, if he's able to play after tweaking the injury at some point during the week, Davis could be in line for a bounceback effort against a Baltimore secondary that has allowed strong stat lines to opposing receivers early on in the campaign.

Davis (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET game in Baltimore.
Analysis: Davis has two limited showings this week sandwiched around a DNP on Thursday, and his comments this week seem to indicate he plans on playing Sunday. He was out there for 96 percent of the plays in the Week 3 loss to Miami, but between his 3-37-0 line, his Week 2 absence and his limited practice availability this week due to tweaking his ankle again, it's clear he's not operating at anywhere near 100 percent just yet.

Davis (ankle) brought in three of six targets for 37 yards in a 21-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Davis made his return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury and had a relatively quiet day in the narrow loss. The speedster did see a solid tally of targets from Josh Allen, and it's certainly possible he still was experiencing at least mild physical limitations just eight days removed from having suffered the sprain two days before the Week 2 win over the Titans.

That said, given Davis' official questionable designation, it'll be worth confirming his Week 3 status ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Player on the rise
Davis continues to stand out during training camp, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Said offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey on Tuesday: "Great mentally, as smart as any receiver I've been around, and works his tail off. So I think that's why you see that trajectory with him continue to get better and better and better each year because he's never complacent."
Analysis: Davis served as the No. 4 wide receiver for most of last season, but with Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley not in the mix for 2022, he's now a clear-cut No. 2 alongside star receiver Stefon Diggs. If Davis sees a lot of single coverage, he's going to be able to put up strong numbers all season. He also has a nose for the end zone with 13 TD catches over his first two regular seasons, and that's not including the four-TD game he posted in the gut-wrenching loss to the Chiefs in last season's…read more

Does little with big volume Sunday
Davis caught three of 14 targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: The second-year wideout tied Stefon Diggs for the team lead in targets on the day, but Davis did far less with the volume than Buffalo's No. 1 receiver. He wraps up the regular season with 35 catches on 63 targets for 549 yards and six TDs, numbers nearly identical to his production as a rookie, and Davis' role in the postseason will depend largely on the health of Emmanuel Sanders (knee), who sat out three of the Bills' last four games.

Davis brought in all three targets for 40 yards in the Bills' 29-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Davis saw an elevated role with Emmanuel Sanders (knee) out but couldn't parlay it into appreciable production. The speedster's reception total and receiving yardage were each second on the team to those of Stefon Diggs, but they were unlikely to put fantasy managers over the top in their championship games. Davis will have one more opportunity to tune up for the postseason in a Week 18 finale against the vulnerable Jets secondary.

Davis is a candidate to start and see a high snap share Sunday against Atlanta with Emmanuel Sanders (knee) inactive for the contest, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Davis had been catching fire prior to missing Week 16 due to being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, as he had caught a total of four touchdowns in three games leading up to that designation. Amended NFL protocol will allow the second-year wideout to re-take the field against the Falcons, who are a bottom-three team in terms of fantasy points allowed to wide receivers in PPR formats.

He also made another catch later on, meeting his usual yardage standard despite wind gusts of around 50 miles per hour heavily restricting the passing game.

Modest performance in easy win
Davis caught two of three targets for 47 yards in Thursday's 31-6 win over the Saints.
Analysis: While Davis had two long-gainers on pretty catches, he didn't get in on any of Josh Allen's four touchdowns and has only found the end zone twice this season after visiting it seven times in his rookie 2020 season. Davis will remain a hit-or-miss fantasy option unless injuries strike the Buffalo offense, as Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley and tight end Dawson Knox remain clearly ahead of him in the pecking order.

With tight end Dawson Knox back in the fold and presumably ready to take on more targets down the stretch, Davis will remain a hit-or-miss option in a crowded offense, where he works as the fourth receiver and the fifth or sixth option in a high-powered passing game.

Analysis: Davis couldn't follow up his modestly decent 4-29-1 line in the Week 8 win over Miami, and this was the third doughnut the second-year wideout has put up this season. With tight end Dawson Knox seemingly on the mend, Davis' opportunities for increased targets won't be getting much better any time soon.

Davis saw action on 44 percent of the offensive plays. While the second-year wideout hasn't gone over 40 yards in a game this season, he could remain more involved should Knox miss more time.

Davis caught both of his targets for 25 yards during Monday's 34-31 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Sadly, this was Davis' second-best game of the season, as he's fallen behind several other options in the Buffalo passing game following a strong rookie campaign. The Bills head into their bye in Week 7, and those holding out hope for a Davis resurgence should pay attention to Dawson Knox's status, as the starting tight end suffered a hand injury Monday. Any potential absence for Knox could be something that leads to Davis seeing more than the infrequent looks he's gotten to date.

Analysis: Davis was one of the few Bills who didn't get in on the scoring frenzy, failing to catch a pass for the second time this season despite playing 43 percent of the snaps on offense. Despite a pleasantly surprising rookie season, Davis has been pushed down in this high-powered and currently healthy offense in his second NFL campaign. Part of that stems from the emergence of tight end Dawson Knox, who's now a regular presence in the passing game, and the addition of a viable No. 2 receiver this…read more

Cedes big catches to others
Davis caught his only target for 23 yards in Sunday's win over Washington.
Analysis: While the game was a blowout win for the Bills, the fact that Davis only saw 23 offensive snaps is a bit of a concern. Perhaps the team was just taking it easy on Davis' minor ankle injury, but he's only received six targets through three games and has been on the field for 33 percent (Week 2) and 29 percent (Week 3) of the offensive snaps the last two games. With Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley, Emmanuel Sanders and perhaps even tight end Dawson Knox all ahead of Davis in the passing game pecking…read more

Ready for Sunday
Davis (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington.
Analysis: Davis has been impacted by an ankle injury the past two weeks, with the second-year wide receiver logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. Fortunately for Davis, he managed every rep to wrap up Week 3 prep, clearing him to suit up this weekend. He's served as the Bills' No. 4 WR this season en route to two catches (on five targets) for 40 yards and one TD, all of which occurred in the team's opener.

Limited at practice Wednesday
Davis was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Davis' limited participation shouldn't be a major concern with regard to his status for Sunday's game against Washington. While nursing the same injury Week 2, Davis logged a pair of limited sessions before gaining clearance for the Bills' victory over the Dolphins. However, the 22-year-old played only 21 offensive snaps and didn't draw a target after registering 43 snaps and five targets Week 1. It's still worth monitoring his status throughout the week, but he will likely be active once…read more

Cleared for Week 2
Davis (ankle) is active Week 2 against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Despite missing Wednesday's practice and logging a pair of limited sessions to close out the week, reports out of Buffalo had indicated Davis was trending toward an "active" status. Last week, a three-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter helped Davis reach double-digit fantasy points, but it's worth noting that the second-year wideout was fourth among Buffalo receivers in snap share. Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders each saw more consistent time on the field, so it seems…read more

On track for Week 2
Davis (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Davis is still listed as questionable, but he's on track to be active for Week 2. After a seven-touchdown rookie season, Davis started strong in Week 1 with two receptions for 40 yards and a score. However, those touchdowns will be tough to depend on while he's in a deep wideout corps with Stefon Diggs, Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley.

Questionable for Week 2
Davis (ankle) remained limited in practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with Miami.
Analysis: Davis practiced on a limited basis both Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's practice. He's fourth on the Bills' wide receiver depth chart but scored the team's lone touchdown in Week 1, so Davis will be missed if he can't go against the Dolphins. Davis' status will likely be determined shortly before kickoff.

Misses practice
Davis won't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Davis logged 43 snaps in the Bills' Week 1 loss to the Steelers, finishing with two receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders all saw more playing time than Davis did in the season opener, a context that suggests that steady volume could elude the second-year wideout, so long as the aforementioned trio remains available.

Strong season debut
Davis caught two of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: As the fourth receiver, Davis was only out there for 51 percent of the offensive snaps -- Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders all saw 91 percent or more -- but he made the most of his time and had the only Buffalo touchdown on the day. Unless one of the three guys in front of him gets hurt, it's tough to envision Davis seeing mega targets each week, but he showed as a rookie in 2020 that he can be a producer when he's out there, as illustrated by his seven TD catches.

Big finish to preseason
Davis caught all five of his targets for 75 yards and a score in Saturday's preseason win over the Packers.
Analysis: Activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday afternoon, Davis indoctrinated himself right back into the Buffalo offense, as his TD snag on an absolute laser from Josh Allen in the first quarter was a thing of beauty from all angles. Davis is set to serve as the No. 4 wide receiver this season, and while that's normally not a productive spot in fantasy terms, the Buffalo offense may chuck it enough that there's value in mid to deeper leagues.

Activated before preseason finale
Davis was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday afternoon.
Analysis: The Bills also activated WR Cole Beasley and DTs Vernon Butler and Star Lotulelei. It's unclear if any of them will play in Saturday's preseason game against Green Bay, but all four should be fine for Week 1 versus the Steelers. Davis likely will open the year as Buffalo's No. 4 wide receiver, but he's in an offense that uses four-wide sets more than most, rotating in behind three starters who are 27, 32 and 34 years old.

Out next five days
Davis was placed on the reserved/COVID-19 list Tuesday and must undergo a five-day re-entry process after he was deemed a close contact of someone who tested positive for the virus, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: The same goes for Cole Beasley, leaving the team very thin at WR while Stefon Diggs (knee) and Emmanuel Sanders (foot) are still nursing minor injuries. It might not be the prettiest week of practice in Buffalo, but there's a good chance QB Josh Allen has each of his top four wideouts healthy for the season opener against Pittsburgh on Sept. 12.

Gets more involved
Davis recorded three receptions on four targets for 29 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Bears.
Analysis: Davis was held off the stat sheet in the team's preseason opener but got more involved in Saturday's contest. He showed a connection with Mitchell Trubisky, recording a reception of 13 yards and a pair of eight-yard catches. Davis is entering his second season in the NFL after posting a promising line of 35 receptions for 599 yards and seven touchdowns in his rookie campaign. The team added Emmanuel Sanders this offseason, meaning Davis may find it difficult to take a big step forward in 2021.

Goose egg in preseason opener
Davis wasn't targeted in Friday's 16-15 preseason win over Detroit.
Analysis: Davis was the top Bills wide receiver dressed with Stefon Diggs (knee), Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders all being held out, but Mitchell Trubisky didn't look Davis' way on any of the 2020 fourth-round pick's 11 offensive snaps. Look for Davis to have more involvement in Week 2 of preseason against the Bears as he looks to usurp some of the snaps from Sanders on the outside opposite Diggs.

New teammate, new competition
Davis will likely have to compete for a starting role in 2021 after the Bills signed veteran free agent Emmanuel Sanders on Wednesday.
Analysis: Davis looked poised for a spike in potential playing time after the Bills released John Brown last week, but the team quickly moved to fill the void with Sanders, who has every bit the resume as Brown and then some. The addition of Sanders likely pushes Davis back to the No. 4 spot on the depth chart. Even as a member of the Bills' high-powered offense, Davis would likely need an injury to one of the top three wideouts to become a reliable weekly producer. That said, Davis' 35-599-7 stat line…read more

Less crowded path to playing time
Davis could be in store for an enhanced role in 2021 after the Bills released John Brown on Wednesday.
Analysis: Davis did well in his rookie season, but in the nine regular-season games Brown played, the former was pushed down to the No. 4 spot on the receiver depth chart. The Bills need more help at other positions and don't have much cap space -- hence the Brown move -- so there's a chance the team is satisfied entering the 2021 season with Davis as the No. 3 receiver behind Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley.

Ends big rookie season with thud
Davis (ankle) failed to reel in any of his three targets during Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
Analysis: With everyone suited up for the Buffalo offense -- namely John Brown and Cole Beasley -- Davis only saw 22 percent of the offensive snaps, his lowest total in any game this season. While Davis and the Bills left a little on the table to the powerful Chiefs, the 2020 fourth-rounder should be pleased with his first campaign. Davis appeared in all 16 regular-season games, posting a 35-599-7 line on 62 targets. The TD catches ranked in a tie for second among all NFL rookies, while the yardage total…read more

While he's probably not 100 percent, the rookie will be on the field for the biggest game of his football career, where he'll likely serve as the fourth receiving option behind Stefon Diggs, John Brown and Cole Beasley.

Analysis: Davis picked up the ankle injury during Saturday's divisional-round win over the Ravens, but he was only forced to miss a few snaps before returning to the field. The rookie ultimately went without a catch on four targets, perhaps an indication that he wasn't playing at full strength. Davis will have two more opportunities to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game in Kansas City.

Davis secured all four targets for 85 yards in Saturday's wild-card win over the Colts.
Analysis: The rookie's snap count dropped to 54 percent, the lowest it's been since Week 10, but that was expected with John Brown (reserve/COVID-19 list) back in action starting in Week 17 and resuming his starting spot. Davis was the team's second-leading receiver in the win behind superstar Stefon Diggs' 128 yards, while the rookie has now seen at least four targets in each of the last seven games.

Analysis: The rookie continues to be worked into the offensive game plan, seeing at least five targets for the fourth straight game. Davis finishes his first regular season with a 35/599/7 line on 62 targets, not bad at all considering his fourth-round status and some of the weapons in front of him.

Modest production in win
Davis secured three of five targets for 33 yards in Buffalo's win over the Patriots on Monday.
Analysis: The Bills attempted to involve Davis more than his stat line would indicate, as quarterback Josh Allen was often looking his way even on plays that didn't up with a throw to Davis or were negated by penalties. He's been mostly a touchdown-dependent deep-league play since John Brown went out with an ankle injury, and Davis' managers will be dealing with some extra variables for Week 17, as Brown could return from the reserve/COVID-19 list, plus the team only has seeding at stake with a playoff…read more

Analysis: That keeps Davis as the No. 3 guy in the wide receiver pecking order behind Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley for at least one more game, Monday at New England. Davis didn't do much of anything on five targets last week with just two catches for 18 yards, but he scored a TD in the three games prior, all of them with Brown out due to an ankle injury. Davis has played at least 83 percent of the offensive snaps in the four most recent games Brown has missed.

Davis is position to serve as one of the Bills' starting receivers Saturday against the Broncos with teammate John Brown (ankle) still on injured reserve.
Analysis: Davis should be set for at least one more week of increased playing time, as he's served as the Bills' clear-cut No. 3 receiver since Brown was put on the shelf. While Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley are the top two targets in the Buffalo passing game, Davis has a touchdown catch in three straight games and has seen at least four targets while playing no fewer than 83 percent of the offensive snaps in each contest.

Scores in third straight
Davis caught three of eight targets for 19 yards and a score in the Sunday night win over the Steelers.
Analysis: While Davis wasn't very efficient, this does give him a touchdown in three straight games as he continues to thrive with starter John Brown on IR. Brown is expected to return at some point, but with the Buffalo offense clicking on all cylinders these days, Davis makes for a good play as long as his teammate remains on the shelf. Davis surprisingly leads the team in receiving touchdowns this season with six.

Davis brought in three of four targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 34-24 win over the 49ers on Monday night.
Analysis: Davis didn't come close to enjoying the volume of position mates Stefon Diggs or Cole Beasley, but he still made his mark with a 28-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter in which he got behind multiple 49ers defenders down the right sideline. The rookie now has a touchdown grab in three of the past four contests, and he figures to continue enjoying a low-volume, high-upside role as long as John Brown (ankle) remains on injured reserve.

Analysis: Davis caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Cole Beasley on a trick play in the second quarter and also hauled in a 44-yard pass from quarterback Josh Allen. The rookie third-round pick easily led all Bills receivers in yardage with Stefon Diggs limited to a season-low 39 yards.

As Josh Allen's passing has regressed in recent outings, however, Davis' production has correspondingly dipped.

Disappointing Week 7
Davis caught just one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 18-10 win at the Jets.
Analysis: Davis certainly had an opportunity for a big game, as he saw 95 percent of the offensive snaps on a day where John Brown was out with a knee injury and Josh Allen threw for 307 yards. But the passing game ended up going through Cole Beasley, as the Jets were content to give up the underneath stuff, allowing Davis' teammate to end up with 11 catches for 112 yards. Davis is a nice long-term play, but like anyone not named Stefon Diggs, he remains a hit-or-miss option in this offense.

Likely to start Week 7
Davis is expected to claim a regular spot in three-wide sets in Sunday's game against the Jets with the Bills ruling out John Brown (knee) for the contest.
Analysis: When Brown sat out the Bills' Week 5 loss to the Titans, it was Davis who stepped up in his stead. The rookie played all 72 of the Bills' offensive snaps in that contest, parlaying nine targets into five receptions for 58 yards. Davis should see elevated usage again Sunday sans Brown, though with the Bills being one of the heaviest favorites on the Week 7 slate, the run game may become more of a priority if Buffalo establishes an early lead.

Buffalo's passing attack was hardly able to get anything going against Kansas City's No. 3 pass defense, as Josh Allen managed only 122 yards through the air on a rainy October evening.

Tops 50 yards with Brown out
Davis caught five of nine targets for 58 yards in Tuesday's 42-16 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Davis finished second to Stefon Diggs in targets and receiving yards, as the rookie fourth-rounder took on a larger role with John Brown (knee) inactive. With over 50 yards in two of his last three games and a touchdown in the other, Davis is starting to establish himself as a consistent contributor in the Bills' surprisingly high-octane passing attack. He should remain involved Monday against the Chiefs, especially if Brown sits again.

Analysis: Cole Beasley battled through a foot injury during Sunday's game, and Davis ended up out-snapping the veteran and finishing with 57 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Josh Allen didn't look his way much, but he made the most of his only target, finding the end zone for the second time in three weeks. With an 8-129-2 line through four games, Davis is an interesting player to keep an eye on, especially if Beasley or John Brown (calf) ends up missing time.

Davis' teammate John Brown, who left the team's Week 3 game against the Rams, practiced fully Friday and does not have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game in Las Vegas.
Analysis: Davis was a nice little pickup earlier in the week when Brown's status was more in doubt after the former went for 81 yards on four catches in a breakthrough outing last week. The rookie from Central Florida will still see the field since he's the clear-cut No. 3 receiver in an offense that uses plenty of three-wide looks, but with Brown and tight end Dawson Knox (concussion) back to full health, Davis will remain pushed down in the pecking order.

First NFL score
Davis caught his only target for a six-yard score in Sunday's win over Miami.
Analysis: The fourth-round rookie was given a carry as well, but it went for no yards, so other than the touchdown it was a pretty empty stat line for the Central Florida product. Still, the TD -- Davis' first as a pro -- made a difference in the game and emphasized that he has become the clear-cut No. 4 wideout in his first pro season. He'll see only occasional looks for now, but if anything were to happen to Stefon Diggs or John Brown, Davis would likely have a prominent role in the offense.

Sees two looks in debut
Davis caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets.
Analysis: The fourth-round rookie was the hit of training camp, but he's still behind Stefon Diggs, John Brown, Cole Beasley and Devin Singletary in the passing game, so there won't be meaningful volume until/unless one of the top three receivers gets hurt and Davis becomes a starter. Davis did see the field for 49 percent of the offensive snaps, not too far behind Beasley's 63 percent and way ahead of Isaiah McKenzie's 18 percent.

Shines in first camp
Davis had a day of good work in Thursday's live scrimmage, accounting for six receptions, three of which went for first downs, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: The fourth-rounder out of Central Florida has the size (6-foot-2, 216 pounds) that the Bills have been looking for. He's also had an excellent camp and is starting to look like a lock to make the team. Davis is probably considered fourth in the current wideout pecking order at the present time behind Stefon Diggs, John Brown and Cole Beasley.

Back at practice
Davis (leg) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Davis missed Tuesday's practice with a leg contusion, but the injury apparently wasn't serious. With no preseason games to prove himself the 2020 fourth-round pick will need to stand out in practice in order to secure regular snaps in the Bills' receiving corps early on during the 2020 season.

Sidelined Tuesday
Davis missed Tuesday's practice session due to a leg contusion, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: This doesn't sound like much to be concerned about while we're still early in camp, though Davis is a rookie in a a crowded receiving room, meaning practice days are more leveraged for him -- especially without any preseason games in 2020 for the Central Florida product to show his skills.

Angle for playing time
Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll cited Davis' size as an asset this week as something the team hopes to put to good use this season, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. "They're bigger guys, size guys," Daboll said in reference to Davis and fellow rookie Isaiah Hodgins. "Both the type of men they are and really the type of player, tough physical guys that have good ball skills, are not afraid and provide us a little bit of size."
Analysis: The team's top three receiving spots are spoken for between Stefon Diggs, John Brown and Cole Beasley, but beyond that, the No. 4 role is completely up for grabs. Davis was considered a nice snag in the fourth round and seems to be impressing the team's coaching staff with his habits, as much as a new player is able to do in a virtual setting. He'll have a good shot at snagging that role while competing with Isaiah McKenzie, Duke Williams, Robert Foster, Hodgins and others, though a full camp…read more

Signs rookie contract
Davis has signed his rookie deal, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: The fourth-rounder out of Central Florida gives the Bills a little bit of the size (6-foot-2 and 216 pounds) at the WR position they lacked last season. However, the top three receiving spots are covered by Stefon Diggs, John Brown and Cole Beasley, so Davis will have to perform well in what looks to be a competitive summer battle with a slew of other wideouts with varying skills, and at best he looks like a No. 4 to start his NFL career. That said, the Bills got good value with him still…read more
