• Bills' Gabriel Davis: New teammate, new competition

  03/18/2021 •

  Davis will likely have to compete for a starting role in 2021 after the Bills signed veteran free agent Emmanuel Sanders on Wednesday. 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 as a rookie shows he's still probably worth a late-round dart in fantasy drafts.

• Bills' Gabriel Davis: Less crowded path to playing time

  03/10/2021 •

  Davis could be in store for an enhanced role in 2021 after the Bills released John Brown on Wednesday. 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. If that happens, Davis will make for a decent fantasy option given his 35-599-7 rookie line in the Bills' newly found high-powered passing game.

• Bills' Gabriel Davis: 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. 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 was ninth. The only real cause for concern is if Brown remains part of the team's plan for 2021, as Davis would sit fourth in the WR pecking order behind Stefon Diggs, Brown and Beasley entering Week 1. But how often do three veteran receivers all stay healthy for long stretches?
