Davis was a bust in 2022, but he has the chance to rebound this year -- at a cheaper cost -- since he remains a big part of Buffalo's offense as the No. 2 receiver opposite Stefon Diggs, and he still has Josh Allen on his side. He should be considered a post-hype sleeper candidate worth drafting as early as Round 7 in all leagues. His CBS Average Draft Position in 2022 was No. 60 overall, but he finished with just 48 catches for 836 yards and seven touchdowns and averaged 12.8 PPR points per game. That number is a little skewed because he had four games with at least 16 PPR points and six games with six PPR points or less. Davis can still be an excellent No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues who can win you a few weeks during the season with his big-play ability.
Davis brought in all three targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 48-20 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
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.

Bills' Gabe Davis: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
We got lucky with Davis in Week 3 at Washington since he scored a touchdown, but his 35-yard reception was his lone catch on four targets. He's now had two catches or less in two of three games this year, and he struggled against Miami last season with seven catches for 93 yards on 12 targets. He always has the chance to score a long touchdown like he did against the Commanders, but I would only consider him a No. 3 Fantasy receiver at best in most leagues in Week 4.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Sit Him (Lineup Decision)
Rotowire
The good news? Davis is a regular route-runner in Josh Allen's offense. The bad news? Miami's had his number in 2 of their past 3 meetings and have already been better against receivers like him this season. Davis' 14.2% target share is also a problem. Davis is fine as a low-end flex but I'd be more inclined to roll the dice on Tutu Atwell, Jordan Addison, Nathaniel Dell and Josh Palmer.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Two-game TD streak
Rotowire
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.
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.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Shows off playmaking ability
Rotowire
Davis recorded six receptions on seven targets for 92 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Raiders.
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.

Bills' Gabe Davis: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Josh Allen was miserable in Week 1 at the Jets, and so was Davis, who only had two catches for 32 yards on four targets. But Davis has a terrible history against the Jets, and I expected him to struggle. He'll bounce back this week against the Raiders at home, mostly because Allen will make a statement in this matchup to quiet any doubters. And Allen needs to get Davis going, as well as Dalton Kincaid, to take pressure off Stefon Diggs. I would only start Davis in three-receiver leagues or unless you need a flex option with upside, but I expect him to have a big outing in Week 2 at home.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Two catches in Week 1 loss
Rotowire
Davis caught two of four targets for 32 yards in Monday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Jets.
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 was bad in two games against the Jets last season with a combined five catches for 64 yards on nine targets. This is a great secondary with Sauce Gardner, D.J. Reed and Michael Carter II, and Davis could struggle once again on Monday night. I'd still start Stefon Diggs despite the tough coverage, but it's easy to get away from Davis in this matchup. At best, he should be considered a low-end No. 3 receiver in three-receiver leagues.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Catches one pass
Rotowire
Davis caught one of four targets for 15 yards in Saturday's preseason game at Chicago.
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.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Only two grabs in defeat
Rotowire
Davis caught two of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals in the AFC divisional round.
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. With 2023 slated to be the final year of his rookie contract, Davis will strive to continue his ascent and earn a lucrative new deal.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Another impressive playoff performance
Rotowire
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.
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.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Does little with 10 targets Week 18
Rotowire
Davis caught three of 10 targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 35-23 win over the Patriots.
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. Davis had at least 88 yards and a touchdown on three different occasions, but he also produced fewer than 40 yards in eight of 15 appearances. The Bills will forget about Davis' underwhelming season in a heartbeat if he can return to peak form in the postseason, starting with the wild-card round against the Dolphins.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
I'm sure a lot of people are rooting for everything Buffalo right now following the Damar Hamlin situation, so let's send some positive vibes to Gabe Davis and hope he plays well against the Patriots. It would be great to see him end the season on a high note after struggling down the stretch, but he did have a touchdown against the Patriots in Week 13. However, he only had two catches for 15 yards on seven targets. New England is dealing with injuries in the secondary which should help Davis, Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs, and Davis is worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues.

Windy weather would cement Davis as an extremely risky Fantasy receiver. Even without the wind he hasn't been great. The Bills may be able to stroll through this matchup without taking crazy chances with the football, plus it feels like Allen has gravitated toward others in the passing game compared to Davis. I'd rather start Darius Slayton, Jahan Dotson and Drake London.

Bills' Gabe Davis: WRs to Sit

I hope this is a reverse jinx for Davis and he goes off this week because his production of late has been frustrating. He's scored 11 PPR points or less in four games in a row, and he's been held under 40 receiving yards in three consecutive games. He's had some tough matchups the past two weeks against the Patriots and Jets, but it's hard to expect a big performance against the Dolphins in Week 15. In Week 3 at Miami, Davis had three catches for 37 yards on six targets. You still want Davis in your lineup in three-receiver leagues because of his upside, but his downside of late is crushing Fantasy managers. Given his recent struggles, it's understandable if you want to bench Davis at the start of the Fantasy playoffs.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Three catches in Week 14
Rotowire
Davis caught three of four targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jets.
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. Davis has been held below 40 receiving yards in seven of 12 appearances this season, including in Week 3 against the Dolphins, whom the Bills will face again in Week 15.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Possible Bust (Lineup Decisions)

Davis' role never really expanded like we had hoped, and now he's watching Stefon Diggs and even Isaiah McKenzie pick up shorter throws. Those will be the types of throws the Bills may have to settle for on Sunday, just as they did in Week 9 in New York. If you just can't stomach sitting Davis because of his upside, I get it, but at the very least consider your other options -- anyone with a consistent track record of getting 9 non-PPR/12 PPR points is worth taking over him. I'm ready to start Mike Evans, D.J. Moore, Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster over Davis in PPR.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Gets into end zone during win
Rotowire
Davis secured two of seven targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 24-10 win over the Patriots on Thursday night.
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. Davis will aim to reverse his troublesome trend of three straight games of declining yardage compared to that of the previous contest when he faces the tough Jets secondary in a Week 14 home divisional showdown a week from Sunday.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Four grabs in Thanksgiving win
Rotowire
Davis caught four of five targets for 38 yards in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Lions.
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' downturn has coincided with Josh Allen's elbow issues, but he remains a big-play threat heading into a Week 13 road clash with the Patriots.
