Ray Davis is positioned for increased opportunities under new head coach Joe Brady in 2026. His rookie year (2025) saw his rushing carries drop 50% from 113 to 58, but Brady has signaled an intent to diversify the Bills' backfield workload, getting more involved Ray Davis, Ty Johnson, and Frank Gore Jr. alongside James Cook's reduced workload. Davis' first-team All-Pro honors as a punt returner in 2025 provide alternative value, but Brady emphasized wanting Davis more involved in the running game. Expected role: flex back with committee-share opportunities, 40-50 rushing attempts + receiving role.

Ray Davis remains a depth option in the Buffalo Bills' crowded backfield, competing behind James Cook (1,621 rushing yards last season) and Ty Johnson. The Bills continue to add running back depth: recent signing Ian Wheeler brings UFL MVP credentials and 2024-2025 preseason experience against Buffalo. Davis will need a strong showing at training camp to secure meaningful snap opportunities in the rushing attack. (per Bills news: What does former UFL MVP bring to Buffalo's backfield?)
