Ray Davis

Davis brings real value even when Cook owns the bulk of carries. He is a physical, useful reserve runner and one of the league's best field-position changers on kick returns.

Strengths: Kick-return explosiveness, physical running, all-purpose value and resilience in a smaller role.

Weaknesses: Offensive touch volume is constrained behind Cook, so he must make limited carries count.

Davis is a good No. 2 back because he does not need a huge workload to help. He has 717 career rushing yards, five receiving touchdowns already, and closed 2025 with 151 rushing yards plus a receiving score in Week 18. The 5-foot-8 frame makes him hard to square up, while the receiving work gives Buffalo some flexibility. A six feels right: a quality complementary player whose volume is naturally capped behind Cook.

Strengths: He has compact contact balance, useful hands and the ability to turn secondary carries into efficient production. Davis can work as a checkdown option, finish drives and provide energy when the starter needs relief.

Weaknesses: He is not built to consistently overpower larger NFL fronts, and a smaller 2025 carry count shows the limited role. Vision can be too eager at times, leading him into traffic rather than waiting for blocks to develop.
