Ray Davis Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Bills RB James Cook was limited in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring issue. We don't have any other details, but it's a positive sign that Cook was able to get on the field at all this early in the week. He can stay penciled into Week 2 fantasy lineups for now, but his status bears monitoring over the next few days. RB Ray Davis remains one of the highest-upside handcuffs in fantasy football and should remain stashed on fantasy benches despite a quiet Week 1.

The Bills and RB James Cook have agreed to a four-year, $48 million deal with $30 million guaranteed, according to his agent. That makes Cook the league's sixth highest paid RB in average annual salary, just ahead of Kyren Williams' new deal at $11 million per year.

Bills RB James Cook wasn't practicing Sunday. When asked why, he simply stood on "business". He has been seeking a new contract, but decided not to hold out. Cook has practiced sparingly during training camp, but could be moving to a "hold in" with no new progress on the deal.

Despite concern heading into camp that RB James Cook would "hold in" as he pursues a big contract extension, ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg reports that he has "fully participated" through the first two days of Bills training camp. That should keep him on track to remain the lead back for this season, but it sure doesn't sound like the two sides are headed for an extension agreement.

Bills RB Ray Davis (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. He was limited in practice and remained in a red non-contact jersey all week. Davis still has work to do to clear protocol before kickoff. We'll keep you posted on his progress. Davis' absence would be a small boost to RB James Cook's carry projection.

Bills RB Ray Davis sustained a concussion in Sunday's Wild Card win over the Broncos. That leaves him iffy for next weekend's Divisional Round game vs. the Ravens. We'll track Davis' progress through the protocol throughout the coming week. Davis has been operating as Buffalo's No. 3 RB behind James Cook and Ty Johnson, so his absence wouldn't make much of a fantasy impact.

Bills RB James Cook ran for 104 yards and 2 TDs on 14 carries in Sunday's win over the Lions. What he didn't do, though, was see much receiving work. Cook also played just 41.4% of offensive snaps overall, his second-smallest share of the season.

Despite rushing for only 20 yards, Bills RB James Cook scored twice in a win over Kansas City. He added 5 catches (on 6 targets) for 7 yards.

Bills RB Ray Davis (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He hurt his calf near the end of last week’s game and wound up questionable on the final injury report for this one. The rookie built momentum with a strong Week 6 showing. But between the calf issue and RB James Cook’s return today, we’d try not to use Davis in Week 7 fantasy lineups.

Bills RB James Cook (toe) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. It looks like Cook will be somewhere close to 100% for this one. RB Ray Davis, meanwhile, is listed as questionable with a calf issue. HC Sean McDermott said that Davis hurt his calf near the end of last week’s game and was bothered by it again on Thursday. The rookie was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday.

Bills RB James Cook (toe) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He's on track to play vs. the Titans this weekend, and it doesn't look like the toe will be a significant issue. The question now is whether Cook will lose more work to RB Ray Davis, who's coming off an impressive Week 6. We'll see about that, but Cook is still worth starting as a RB2 for most fantasy teams.

Bills RB James Cook (toe) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He seemed reasonably close to playing vs. the Jets on Monday night, so we're projecting Cook to return for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. We'll keep you updated on his status leading up to that one.

Bills RB James Cook (toe) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Jets. It’s a surprise after multiple reports that Cook was expected to play. His absence leaves Buffalo’s backfield to Ray Davis, Ty Johnson, and rookie Frank Gore, who was elevated from the practice squad earlier today. If you’re looking for a Cook replacement, Davis is your best bet (assuming Jets RB Braelon Allen isn’t available).

Bills RB James Cook (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Jets. He only got in a limited practice on Saturday. There have been multiple reports that Cook is expected to play in this one, but fantasy owners would be wise to stash RB Ray Davis or RB Ty Johnson as insurance just in case Cook ends up inactive.

Bills RB James Cook (toe) missed practice again on Friday. We'll see if he gets on the field tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for Monday night's game vs. the Jets, but Cook owners should start making other plans for Week 6. RBs Ray Davis and Ty Johnson will likely form a committee if Cook misses the Monday nighter.

Bills RB James Cook (toe) did not practice on Thursday. We don't have any other details on the toe injury. Cook has an extra day to get ready for Monday night's game vs. the Jets, but consider him iffy for that one as of now. His absence would likely mean a committee backfield with RBs Ray Davis and Ty Johnson. Davis would be the better fantasy bet but only a RB3 or Flex play.

Bills RB James Cook scored all three of the team's offensive TDs in Thursday night's win over the Dolphins. The first came in the first quarter on a well-designed misdirection that left Cook wide open in the left flat. He caught a short pass and burst to the pylon for a 17-yard score. Cook hit paydirt on a one-yard plunge in the second quarter and then scored from 49 yards out later in the second to give the Bills a 24-7 lead. He found a nice hole off the right guard and then out-ran former teammate Jordan Poyer's angle to the end zone.
