A team’s identity can ebb and flow depending on a variety of factors, including coaching preferences and tendencies, player personnel, and player performance. Last season, the Buffalo Bills were one of the most run-heavy teams in all of football. They are top 10 in both passing frequency and passing plays/game through five weeks of this season.
Quarterback Josh Allen has been playing at an MVP-level this year, and that has resulted in the Bills opening the year with a 4-1 record sitting atop the AFC East. They’ve scored at least 27 points in four of five games and have provided fantasy value for several offensive skill position players. One in particular, Gabriel Davis, continued his stretch of solid performances last night.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis saw more action than normal against the Tennessee Titans in Week 5. He saw more playing time because John Brown (calf) was unable to suit up for this one. Davis was targeted a season-high nine times with five receptions for 58 yards in the loss. He has put together some nice performances this season, but he won’t carry much fantasy value once Brown is healthy.
A Promising Day 3 Pick
In a wide receiver class as deep and talented as any in recent history, Day 3 draft picks hold more value than usual. Shawn Siegele highlighted Davis as a key flier to stash and watch following his fourth-round selection. Davis scored well in our WR Prospect Lab and brought a strong final season — his junior season — to the NFL Draft.
