You are getting ready to move on to week eight in fantasy football, and there's some running back games that you need to know who are currently on your waiver wire.

And week eight is the pivotal point of your season.

Either you're a great team and you continue to be great or you have to fight back and these guys can help you do that.

And we'll start with the bill's rookie running back, Ray Davis, their fourth round pick.

Who you'll remember back in week six on Monday night football, he had a nice game and he should have been added on most teams and rosters but here's the thing he wasn't because he's still available as i'm looking right now in 74% of leagues now big reason for this

as i pull up the player profiler team page here is because james cook started practicing heading into

week seven it looked like he was going to play and he definitely did play so more people were reluctant to

pick up ray davis or they ended up just it, which was a massive mistake and let me explain why. Well, Ray Davis ended up entering week seven with a calf injury and I saw a lot of

people start to drop, including in multiple leagues that I'm in, Ray Davis, who was questionable

then, right? He ends up having this calf injury midweek. James Cook's now healthy. It looks like

Ray Davis's error was just one week of the season for 2024. And I can get that logic and understanding, but a questionable tag with a calf injury

midweek that didn't seem serious doesn't mean that this dude's season is over.

Let alone his status just to play in week seven.

And that's exactly what happened.

He suited up and played in week seven.

And despite being limited by that calf injury, you can see right here,

according to player profiler snap counts right here and touches. You can see Ray Davis plays 13 snaps,

which is 24% of the snaps. You scroll over to his opportunities. He gets five carries and one target.

Now, of course, compared to James Cook's 12 carries, that doesn't seem all that great,

but I do think it's encouraging when we consider the fact that, again, this guy was highly

questionable to play. A lot of people that didn't think he would even suit up to play, including in his own organization, and then he suited up and still had a nice backup role.

And although he was on limited touches in this game, you can see right here, yet again, he averaged a lot of yards per touch.
