Inactive Sunday

Nabs two catches in Week 14 victory
Davis finished Sunday's 39-34 victory versus the Bengals with two catches on two targets for 21 yards.
Analysis: Josh Allen spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers on a snowy Sunday, with much of his production going to tight ends Dawson Knox (6-93-0) and Dalton Kincaid (4-41-1). Among the Bills' wideouts, Davis had the most receiving yards, though Khalil Shakir finished with the better fantasy line due to hauling in a touchdown. Davis has seven catches on 10 targets for 88 yards through four games heading into a Week 15 road battle in New England.

Minimal production against Steelers
Davis caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Davis played a minimal role in the Bills' passing game Sunday, catching one of two targets for the second straight game. The veteran wideout played 43 of Buffalo's 74 offensive snaps, and despite seeing his largest snap share of the season, he was unable to be a major factor in the win against Pittsburgh. Davis should continue to be very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Bengals.

Joins Bills' active roster
The Bills signed Davis from the practice squad to the active roster Friday.
Analysis: Davis opened the season on the practice squad injured list and was reinstated to the practice squad on Oct. 29. Buffalo then elevated him for both Weeks 11 and 12, when he combined for four catches (on six targets) for 62 yards and no touchdowns. With Curtis Samuel (elbow) being placed on IR on Friday and Joshua Palmer (ankle) questionable for Week 13, Davis is poised to be a regular in the Bills' passing game Sunday at Pittsburgh along with Khalil Shakir, Tyrell Shavers, newcomer Brandin Cooks…read more

One catch in Week 12 loss
Davis caught one of two targets for 22 yards in Thursday's 23-19 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Davis' 55 percent snap share was second among Buffalo's wide receivers behind Khalil Shakir's 67 percent, while Keon Coleman (coach's decision) was scratched for a second consecutive game. Davis is slated to revert back to the Bills' practice squad, but given his prominent role Thursday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get another chance to play in Week 13 at Pittsburgh. He can be elevated from the practice squad a third time, having already been elevated twice, but the Bills would have to…read more

Elevated for second straight week
The Bills elevated Davis from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Davis is expected to be active for the second game in a row after kicking off his second stint with the Bills in this past Sunday's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers. The 26-year-old wideout started and played 23 of 56 snaps in the victory, finishing with three catches for 40 yards on four targets. With Curtis Samuel (elbow/neck) ruled out for Thursday and with Mecole Hardman (calf) landing on injured reserve, Davis could see his role grow, though quarterback Josh Allen's tendency to spread the…read more

Reverts to practice squad
Davis reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Davis was listed as a starter for the Bills' 44-32 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, when he registered three catches (on four targets) for 40 yards. He played 23 of 56 snaps on offense (41 percent) which was fifth most among Bills wide receivers, largely due to Keon Coleman and Elijah Moore both being healthy scratches for Week 11. Even if Coleman and Moore were to be active for Thursday's game against the Texans, Davis could still be elevated to the active roster due to injuries to fellow…read more

Three catches in season debut
Davis caught three of four targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Davis made his season debut with the Bills after being elevated from the practice squad Sunday, finishing tied for second on the team in catches with running back James Cook. The wide receiver was able to operate in a rather significant role due to Keon Coleman (coach's decision) and Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) being unavailable. Davis can be elevated two more times, and he seems likely to be called upon again in Week 12 against the Texans on Thursday Night Football.

Elevated from practice squad
The Bills elevated Davis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Davis was taken off the practice squad injured list in late October after recovering from a lingering knee injury, and the 2020 fourth-rounder is poised to suit up for Buffalo for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Given his connection with Josh Allen during four seasons with the Bills, Davis could be utilized in the offensive gameplan alongside Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer, especially in the absence of tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring).

Getting closer to contributing
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Davis is "getting close" to suiting up for game action but that the team is still not putting a timeline on his return, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Davis inked with Buffalo's practice squad early September but spent most of the season to date sidelined with a knee injury. However, he came off the practice-squad injured list in late October and is now ramping up his activity level. While the veteran wideout will likely remain sidelined Sunday versus Miami, expect Davis to contribute on offense for Buffalo at some stage this season.

Past knee injury
Davis (knee) moved to active practice squad status and will practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.
Analysis: The veteran wideout was placed on the Bills' practice squad injured list in early September, but it now appears he's recovered from the issue. Davis appeared in 10 game for the Jaguars in 2024, catching 20 of 42 targets for 239 yards and two touchdowns. Now fully healthy, he could find his way back onto Buffalo's active roster down the stretch, as he's very familiar with the team's offense.

On practice squad injured list
Davis (knee) was placed on the Bills' practice squad injured list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Davis agreed to sign with the team's practice squad Tuesday, but the wideout will reside on the injured list while he continues to bounce back from a torn meniscus he sustained last season, per Joe Buscagliaof The Athletic. Down the road, Davis could find himself back in the Bills' WR mix, and his familiarity with the offense (the 26-year-old played for Buffalo from 2020 through 2023) would no doubt ease his transition to a return to action in such a scenario.

Davis (knee) agreed to sign with the Bills' practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old wideout will reunite with the Bills, with whom he began his career in 2020. Davis recorded at least 500 receiving yards and six touchdowns in each of his four seasons in Buffalo, but after receiving a three-year, $39 million deal from the Jaguars in free agency last offseason, he struggled to a 20-239-2 receiving line over 10 games before undergoing season-ending surgery last November to address a torn meniscus.

Visiting Buffalo after Pittsburgh
Davis (knee) is scheduled to meet with the Bills after a medical follow-up with the Steelers on Tuesday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: The Jaguars released Davis in May, a little less than six months after he suffered a season-ending meniscus injury. A return to Buffalo -- where he played from 2020 to 2023 -- might be the most promising option for getting his career back on track, but Davis likely will start off in a backup role wherever he ends up signing.

Making second Steelers visit
Davis (knee) is visiting with the Steelers on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Davis is meeting with the receiver-needy Steelers for the second time this offseason. He hasn't seen any action since suffering a season-ending meniscus tear Week 11 of the 2024 campaign as a member of the Jaguars. Davis had at least 549 receiving yards and six touchdowns in each of his four regular seasons with the Bills from 2020-2023.

The Giants are hosting Davis (knee) for a visit Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: It's the second visit in as many days for Davis, who checked in with the 49ers on Monday, after he was released by the Jaguars on May 7. The 2020 fourth-rounder is recovering from a meniscus tear that he suffered in Week 11 against the Lions but is expected to be fully healthy by the start of the 2025 regular season. He previously played under Giants head coach Brian Daboll in Buffalo, and a reunion would put Davis in a receiver room alongside Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton.

Visiting San Francisco
The 49ers are hosting Davis (knee) for a visit Monday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Davis was released by the Jaguars in early May after playing out just one season of his three-year, $39 million contract with the team. He recorded just a 20-239-2 line (on 42 targets) across 10 appearances in 2024 before going down with a meniscus injury. Davis is still dealing with the issue, but he's expected to be fully healthy by Week 1, making him a potential depth option for a San Francisco wide receiver corps that parted ways with Deebo Samuel earlier this offseason.

Released by Jaguars
The Jaguars released Davis (knee) on Wednesday.
Analysis: Davis made it through just one season of a three-year, $39 million contract, playing 10 games for Jacksonville before a torn meniscus ended his 2024 campaign. He may not be back at full strength yet but should get there before Week 1 of 2025, making the 26-year-old a reasonable free-agent option for WR-needy teams this spring/summer. The Jaguars, meanwhile, are moving forward with No. 2 overall draft pick Travis Hunter and free-agent signing Dyami Brown alongside Brian Thomas at wide receiver.

He becomes the second Jaguars starting receiver to go down with a season-ending injury, after Christian Kirk fractured his collarbone in a Week 8 loss to the Packers.

Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Davis (knee) will miss the rest of the season, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Davis suffered a knee injury Sunday at Detroit, and the ensuing prognosis of out for the season indicates that he'll require a full meniscus repair. He's set to join fellow WR Christian Kirk (collarbone) on injured reserve, while Brian Thomas, Parker Washington, Tim Jones and Devin Duvernay are left as the healthy options at the position on the Jaguars' active roster.

May have sustained torn meniscus
Davis is believed to have suffered a meniscus tear in his knee during Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Davis will undergo further medical testing Monday before the Jaguars provide an update, but if a meniscus tear is confirmed, the wideout would require surgery. A partial meniscectomy or trim would likely entail a multi-week recovery, while a full meniscus repair would sideline him for the rest of the season. Either way, Davis looks like a candidate to go on injured reserve, which would further deplete a Jaguars pass-catching corps that has already lost Christian Kirk (collarbone) for the…read more

Analysis: Davis got the green light to play after three limited practices, which also is the case for fellow starting wide receiver Brian Thomas (chest).

Analysis: Davis and Brian Thomas (chest) were both limited in practice for the second day in a row, but Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson hasn't suggested that the availability of either wideout for Sunday's game in Detroit is in peril. Assuming Davis is cleared to play Sunday, he'll be on the receiving end of throws from quarterback Mac Jones, who will be making a second straight start in place of the injured Trevor Lawrence (shoulder).

One catch against Vikings
Davis recorded one reception on four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Davis returned from a one-game absence caused by a shoulder injury and finished second on the team in targets. However, the Jaguars' passing attack was abysmal with Mac Jones under center, leaving Davis little chance to produce meaningfully. He also wasn't particularly productive with Trevor Lawrence leading the offense, as Davis has reached 50 receiving yards only once on the campaign.

Quiet in Week 7 win
Davis secured one of two targets for 13 yards during the Jaguars' 32-16 win over the Patriots on Sunday in London.
Analysis: Davis saw his lowest target total of the season, a development that came at least in part due to the fact that Jacksonville commanded a sizeable lead for the majority of Sunday's contest. He figures to be more involved versus Green Bay in Week 8, but with all of Christian Kirk, rookie first-round pick Brian Thomas and tight end Evan Engram healthy, Davis may be fourth or fifth in the pecking order for targets from Trevor Lawrence.

Fortunately for those considering him in fantasy lineups this weekend, the Jaguars kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET in London on Sunday.

Limited to begin London prep
Davis was limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.
Analysis: Davis led all Jaguars wide receivers with a 78 percent snap share in the Week 5 win over the Colts, so he showed no sign of being limited by an injury. He still has two opportunities to upgrade to full participation and avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game against the Bears in London.

Three receptions in win
Davis caught three of four targets for 38 yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 37-34 win against the Colts.
Analysis: The 25-year-old's only major contribution Sunday came on a 21-yard reception during the second quarter, but he negated that gain by losing a fumble. He was also called for offensive pass interference on the play, which Indianapolis obviously declined. Davis' 78 percent snap share led Jacksonville's wide receivers, but he once again wasn't a featured component of the passing game. Christian Kirk has settled in after a slow start to the season, while rookie Brian Thomas has emerged as the…read more

Ready for Sunday
Davis (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Colts, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: For a second week in a row, Davis operated with a cap on his practice reps due to a shoulder injury. However, unlike last week, when he was listed as questionable before suiting up this past Sunday at Houston, he's clear ahead of Week 5 action. Davis has handled at least a 76 percent snap share in all four games this season, but his 21 targets have amounted to just nine catches for 121 yards and no touchdowns.

Limited practice Wednesday
Davis (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Unionreports.
Analysis: Davis was limited at practice last week and listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's eventual loss to the Texans, but the wideout suited up and logged a 79 percent snap share while catching one of his five targets for minus-2 yards. With no reported setbacks, chances are Davis' limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related.

Struggles vs. Houston
Davis caught one of five targets for minus-2 yards in Jacksonville's 24-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Davis entered the weekend officially listed as 'questionable' due to a shoulder injury, and though he managed to suit up Sunday, he logged his worst day in a Jaguars uniform. Meanwhile, both Christian Kirk (7-61-1) and rookie Brian Thomas (6-86-1) connected with quarterback Trevor Lawrence for touchdowns. Davis was better in Jacksonville's first two regular-season games, in which he averaged 90-plus offensive snaps and 52.5 receiving yards.

Quiet day against old team
Davis brought in two of six targets for 18 yards in the Jaguars' 47-10 loss to the Bills on Monday night.
Analysis: Davis couldn't come up with any meaningful production against his old team, although he did finish tied for third in targets for Jacksonville on the night. The speedster has been reasonably productive relative to Trevor Lawrence's uneven performances thus far this season, as Davis heads into a Week 4 road matchup against the Texans on Sunday with an 8-123-0 line on 16 targets.

Earns seven targets
Davis recorded three receptions on seven targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 18-13 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Davis led Jacksonville with seven targets, though he failed to show the same connection with Trevor Lawrence displayed in Week 1. He failed to record a catch on any of his first three targets and managed to salvage his day with a 22-yard reception on the Jaguars' final drive. Like his time in Buffalo, Davis looks to be an inconsistent pass-catching option that is reliant primarily on big plays for production.

Team-high yardage total in debut
Davis brought in all three targets for 62 yards in the Jaguars' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Davis managed a team-high yardage total in his Jaguars regular-season debut, securing grabs of 22, 20 and 20 yards that fit perfectly with his downfield profile. The veteran speedster is expected to help replace the speed component provided by the departed Calvin Ridley a year ago, and he'll look to garner some chunk plays again versus a talented Browns secondary in a Week 2 home matchup.

Davis was unable to record a catch on either of his targets in Friday's 31-0 preseason win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Davis was on the field with Trevor Lawrence and the majority of Jacksonville's starting unit for two drives. He was blanked on the stat sheet but was targeted in the end zone on the latter of the starting unit's possessions. Davis has a clear grasp on a starting role as an outside receiver heading into a Week 1 matchup against Miami.

Impressive gain on one catch
Davis secured one of two targets for 20 yards in the Jaguars' 26-13 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday night.
Analysis: Davis recorded his one reception on the opening play of the Jaguars' second possession, and he saw a second target later in the drive that was confirmed incomplete on a replay challenge. Davis is slated to open the season as the Jaguars' No. 2 receiver, but he'll presumably have to hold off what could be a progressively aggressive challenge from rookie first-round pick Brian Thomas, who impressed with a 41-yard catch of his own Saturday.

Over his knee injury
Davis (knee) is participating in practice at Jaguars camp this week, Sports Illustrated's John Shipley reports.
Analysis: Davis missed OTAs and minicamp after injuring his knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Dolphins. He missed both of Buffalo's playoff games and then signed a three-year, $39 million deal with Jacksonville as a free agent. Davis is expected to serve as Trevor Lawrence's top downfield threat after the departures of Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones in free agency. Christian Kirk will man the slot for the Jaguars, and rookie first-rounder Brian Thomas will round out the three-wide set.

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.

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.

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.

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. Davis added another pair of catches and now has found the end zone in three consecutive contests heading into a Week 5 game against the Jaguars in London.

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.

Catches one pass
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. While starting all 15 games he played in the regular season, Davis hauled in 48 of 93 targets for 836 yards and seven scores, marking his best campaign yet despite still carrying weekly inconsistencies.

Another impressive playoff performance
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.

Davis caught three of 10 targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 35-23 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Davis tied Stefon Diggs for the team lead in targets but didn't make much of the volume. 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: No Bills pass catcher reached 50 yards in this one, so Davis wasn't the only player who struggled to create separation against the sticky Jets secondary.

Analysis: Davis had an inefficient night overall, but he salvaged it from a fantasy perspective by recording an eight-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. The speedster's catch and yardage totals were his second lowest of the season, and the trip to the end zone was only his second since Week 6.

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.

Analysis: Davis was kept in check by the stingy Jets secondary.

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.

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.

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.

Three catches with Sanders out
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.

Candidate for added work
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. Not only is the matchup favorable, but Davis will presumably get to work as a WR3 behind Stefon Diggs and…read more

Activated by Buffalo
The Bills activated Davis (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Analysis: After being placed on the list last Friday, Davis was initially expected to miss Weeks 16 and 17 since he was subject to a 10-day quarantine as an unvaccinated player who tested positive for COVID-19. However, he'll be eligible to return to practice Wednesday and suit up Sunday against Atlanta after the NFL and NFL Players Association agreed Tuesday to set isolation time at five days for all players who test positive for COVID-19, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. Davis will thus rejoin the Bills…read more

Not playing Weeks 16, 17
Davis, who was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday after testing positive for the virus, won't be available for games Sunday against the Patriots or Week 17 against the Falcons due to his status as an unvaccinated player, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Davis and Cole Beasley are both following the protocols for unvaccinated players and must quarantine for 10 days after their positive tests Friday and Tuesday, respectively. Because Beasley tested positive earlier in the week, his 10-day period will conclude prior to the Jan. 2 game against the Falcons, while Davis won't be cleared until a day after that. Though Buffalo received good news with Emmanuel Sanders (knee) practicing fully and thus looking likely to play this weekend, the team's…read more

Lands on COVID list
Davis (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
Analysis: Davis has four touchdowns in the past three games and appeared poised for a significant role again this weekend after Cole Beasley tested positive for COVID-19, but Davis now has joined him on the reserve list. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Davis is unvaccinated and therefore is unavailable for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots. Isaiah McKenzie could operate as Buffalo's No. 3 wide receiver behind Stefon Diggs and Emmanuel Sanders versus New England.

Opportunity keeps knocking
Davis' teammate Cole Beasley was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
Analysis: The early thought is that Beasley will miss Sunday's game in New England, while starting receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) also seems like an iffy proposition for that game, meaning if Davis is somehow still on your league's waiver wire you'll want to queue him up. The second-year wideout has four touchdowns over his last three games, so even if the matchup proves to be as tough as it seems on paper, Davis looks to be out there for at least 85 percent of the offensive plays. He has either a TD…read more

Big game in spot start
Davis caught five passes for 85 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets against Carolina on Sunday.
Analysis: Davis stepped into the starting role normally held by Emmanuel Sanders (knee) and thrived, even scoring one of his touchdowns against feared corner Stephon Gilmore (though Gilmore seemed confused on the coverage that play, to be fair). Going back to his rookie year, Davis has been almost automatic with his otherwise inconsistent usage, so it will be interesting to see if the Bills get him more playing time going forward even after Sanders' eventual return. The Bills tried to use Sanders as…read more

Headed for Week 15 start
Davis is expected to join Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Panthers with Emmanuel Sanders (knee) expected to miss the contest, Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The Bills have yet to officially rule Sanders out for the home game versus Carolina, but he hasn't taken part in either of the team's first two practices of Week 15 and was labeled week-to-week after picking up the knee injury in last Sunday's overtime loss to the Buccaneers. While Sanders was sidelined for the entire second half of that contest, Davis stepped in and had a major role in the Bills' comeback bid.

Finds end zone again
Davis caught five of eight targets for 43 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's overtime loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: That makes back-to-back weeks with scores for the second-year wideout, who could see a boost in his role if veteran Emmanuel Sanders (knee) is held out of action in Week 15. Davis only has one 100-yard game his season, but he's found the end zone four times after doing so seven times as a rookie. The Bills have a few plays they like to dial up where they look Davis' way in the red zone.

Scores in defeat
Davis caught two of four targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 14-10 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Davis opened the scoring for Buffalo with a 14-yard touchdown during the first quarter, marking his third end-zone trip of the campaign. 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. Davis will now hope his personal momentum from scoring Monday will translate into another positive showing versus the Buccaneers in Week 14.

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.

Bounces back big
Davis caught all three of his targets for 105 yards in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Jets.
Analysis: The day really belonged to superstar Stefon Diggs (8-162-1), but Davis hauled in a couple of long ones and gave the Bills two 100-yard receivers on the day. 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. The yardage total blew right past Davis' previous high of 40 this season,…read more

Shut out in terrible team loss
Davis failed to haul in either of his two targets in Sunday's 9-6 loss to Jacksonville.
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 is a good young receiver but living in a crowded house, so his only iota of value lies in the occasional touchdown dart or if you can afford to keep a reserve spot with the thought that…read more

First trip to end zone since Week 1
Davis caught four of five targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-11 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: It's been a pretty dry season for Davis as Buffalo's clear No. 4 wide receiver, though he did seem to pick up extra targets this week in the absence of tight end Dawson Knox, whose status remains uncertain due to a broken hand. 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.

Poor production continues
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.

Davis failed to bring in his only target during Sunday's 40-0 win over Houston.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Analysis: Davis practiced on a limited basis both Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's practice.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Likely to start again
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.

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.

Scores on trick play
Davis caught three of four targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Chargers.
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. Davis now has four touchdowns and should continue to start on the outside opposite Diggs against the 49ers in Week 13 with John Brown (ankle) on IR.

Extra action in store
Davis' teammate John Brown was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to a knee injury.
Analysis: Davis was already lined up for a main role in Sunday's game against the Chargers, but he'll now get at least two more games in a top-three role due to his veteran teammate being moved to IR. Perhaps that extra bit of responsibility is enough to break a tie for those managers choosing between deeper WR options.

Replacing John Brown on Sunday
Davis' teammate John Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Brown previously missed Weeks 5 and 7, allowing Davis to play 100 and 95 percent of snaps on offense. The rookie caught five of nine targets for 58 yards in the first of those games, but the Jets limited him to one catch on three targets a couple weeks later. While production is far from guaranteed, Davis figures to play a lot of snaps and run a lot of routes this week.

No catches against Cardinals
Davis did not haul in any of his three targets during Sunday's 32-30 loss to Arizona.
Analysis: This marks the second time in three weeks that the fourth-round rookie has been held without a reception, though he did deliver four catches for 70 yards and a touchdown last Sunday against the Seahawks. Dating back to when the Bills took on Kansas City in Week 6, Davis has been held to fewer than 12 receiving yards in four of his five most recent outings. That's a stark drop-off from the 2.6 catches and 37.4 receiving yards per game he produced Weeks 1 through 5. Heading into Buffalo's Week 11…read more

Finds end zone, third time in 2020
Davis caught four of five targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: This is about the most production we'll see out of the promising rookie when all of Buffalo's skill players are healthy, which finally came to roost in Week 9. We like the Central Florida product's long-term promise, but before you go rushing to nab him off the waiver wire, remember there are several options in front of him and that Davis caught just two balls for 18 yards and no scores combined over the previous three games, and that was with John Brown unhealthy and tight end Dawson Knox out…read more

No catches in win over Pats
Davis did not haul in either of his targets during Sunday's 24-21 win against the Patriots.
Analysis: Davis was a considerable producer within the Bills' offensive attack Weeks 3 through 5, registering a combined 10 catches for 165 yards and one touchdown during that span. As Josh Allen's passing has regressed in recent outings, however, Davis' production has correspondingly dipped. The rookie fourth-round draft choice has managed just two total catches for 18 yards the past three weeks and had what could have been a very costly dropped TD pass in Sunday's close win over the Patriots, though a…read more

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.

Just one catch against Chiefs
Davis caught his only target for a seven-yard gain during Monday's 26-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: John Brown (knee) was seemingly hobbled at points of Monday's defeat, but Davis was unable to emerge as he had the outing prior with five catches and 58 receiving yards. 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. Buffalo's passing offense was prolific with 331.5 yards per game Weeks 1 through 4, as Davis produced two touchdowns and 16.1 yards per…read more

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.

Snags TD pass
Davis hauled in his lone target for a 26-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Raiders.
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.

Starting role will wait
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. Still, a 7-103-1 line through three games to go…read more

Tops 80 yards as Brown goes down
Davis caught all four of his targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 35-32 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Davis took advantage of his increased workload after fellow wide receiver John Brown exited with a calf injury. If Brown can't go in Week 4 against the Raiders, Davis would gain some appeal in what has morphed into a high-octane Bills passing game.

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
