scottybo 1 Posted August 15, 2023 What's your thoughts on Gabe Davis fantasy outlook this year? Things going for him: Contract year (looking to get paid) Hurt ankle early last year and was never 100% Hearing he has looked dominant in camp On high powered offense Would you want him as a WR3/WR4? In a league where you start 3 WR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a league where you start 3 WR I love his ADP. I expect high end WR3 numbers. He's healthy and on a contract year, Let's Go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swim54 4 Posted August 15, 2023 I def think he is a value at his ADP and someone that I will have some ownership in. I think the one caveat is that he will likely be a bit boom or bust. If you can live with the volatility I'd press go. Edit: Best ball all day long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 4,057 Posted August 15, 2023 High powered offense? Maybe statistically but it’s basically just Josh Allen. Diggs get his but otherwise it’s Josh running the ball or Josh spreading it around. I do like him a bit as a roll of the dice, but also remember how extraordinarily overhyped he was coming into last year. It’s possible the hype was just a year early though, versus being entirely misplaced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swim54 4 Posted August 15, 2023 Sure thing. Best ball (which is the underdog format) doesn't require you to set a lineup rather it just takes your highest scoring players for the week to "auto-fill" your lineup. So for example if your lineup requirements are: 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE and a flex and you roster 6 WRs, 2 QBs, 2 TEs and 6 RBs, it take your top scoring QB, 2 top scoring RBs and so on for each week. So volatility is much easier to deal with and "spike weeks" or high scoring weeks from a player that might be on your bench in a normal league go straight into your lineup and likely result in a W for the week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scottybo 1 Posted August 15, 2023 I'm in an auction keeper league where I can keep him for $4 out of my $100 budget. I'm on the fence whether I should keep him. Decision needs to be done by Midnight. My other keepers are QB - Watson $3 RB - McCaffrey $33 RB - Dobbins - $5 WR - AJ Brown - $14 WR - Waddle - $12 WR - G Davis - $4 $70/$100 budget spent prior to auction. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3WR, 1 TE, 1K 1, DEF. so would have $30 to fill to 10 spots including K and Def. In the scheme of things, $4 isnt much but could limit draft options. What are your thoughts?

Yes, and i'm typically the person thats always a year ahead! I kind of feel it could happen again with Davis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 985 Posted August 15, 2023 Only have 4 or 5 late Wrs I really like... Davis is one of them. Consistently drafting him round 9 in mocks. Just barely though - probably have to reach rd 8 to ensure I really draft him. Fantasy "expert" I listen to dove into all the metrics data... adot, yac, etc. along with team situational stuff. Convinced me Davis is fantasy gold. Don't know what his worth is in auctions though. Wish my league did auction. Take some of the dumb luck and convert it to strategy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably do better without a Qb who runs every other play, designed or not. Happy Feet isn't a great recipe for deep target Wrs which take time to set up.

IGotWorms 4,057 Posted January 22, 2024 Somebody is going to overpay him and I sure as heck hope it’s not my Patriots. He’s a JAG, imo. Perhaps on the higher end of JAGs, but not anyone you should be investing significant assets in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makindollaz 51 Posted January 23, 2024 I know him having his best game all year in Week 16 was the reason I got knocked out of the semifinals of one of my $ leagues. Of course he returned to form the next week and did nothing, as I outscored both finalists by like 50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maximum Overkill 1,741 Posted January 25, 2024 I can't imagine Buffalo keeping Davis at big money but with Diggs hitting the 30+ wall, maybe so? Is Davis worth a big contract? I can certainly see Shakir being a strong #2 if Davis walks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
