Finds end zone in Week 15 loss
Davis carried the ball eight times for 21 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Javonte Williams picked up a shoulder injury on the Cowboys' opening drive that cost him the rest of the first half, and in his absence Davis punched in a one-yard TD in the second quarter. The two backs then split backfield duties after Williams' return to begin the second half. Davis has gotten into the end zone twice in the last three games, but Sunday's 10 touches were a season high, and his fantasy appeal will be low as long as Williams is healthy. If the shoulder issue proves to be a limiting factor for Dallas' RB1, however, Davis could see elevated volume again Week 16 against the Chargers.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The Cowboys' decision to let Tony Pollard leave and replace him with just retread Ezekiel Elliott points to a backfield committee in 2024, which could provide opportunities for depth players to make surprising contributions. Davis has plenty of experience in committees dating days to his college days at Florida, but he didn't see a single snap on offense last season, spending most of the year on the practice squad. He doesn't have any standout traits, and while he can handle duties on all three downs, he's limited to gaining the yards his blocking creates for him.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see increased role
Davis would serve as the backup to Ezekiel Elliott if Tony Pollard is unable to play Thursday, the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Pollard suffered a thigh injury in Dallas' Week 16 win over the Eagles, and he has yet to practice ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Titans. Even so, owner Jerry Jones said he expects the running back to suit up. However, if he is forced to sit, Davis would handle snaps and touches behind Elliott. The rookie saw a season-high 19 offensive snaps and eight rushing attempts in Week 8 when Zeke was sidelined, but Davis has played only four offensive snaps combined across his last five games.
