Ray Davis

Running BackRB
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Entering his first season with the Wildcats and fifth collegiate season, Davis has some big shoes to fill as the projected starting running back. Davis is coming off of a 1,042 yard and five touchdown season as the leading rusher for Vanderbilt in 2022. The 5-foot-10 running back is a former three-star recruit who saw success against Kentucky last season, rushing for 129 yards and one score in their Week 11 battle. He brings a ton of experience to the Wildcats' running back room and is projected to take over the lead back role from Chris Rodriguez, who toted the rock 175 times over just eight games last season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Davis comes into the 2022 season with Vanderbilt as somewhat of a wildcard. He began his career at Temple where he accumulated 1,470 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on 315 carries, but he opted out of the 2020 season after just four games and decided to enter the transfer portal. The Commodores expected a lot out of the running back his junior year, but a toe injury kept him out of all but three games, and he eventually got surgery on it in September. Davis has only participated in seven games over the past two years, but if he can replicate the season he had his freshman year, Vanderbilt will have an elite rusher on their hands.
The Temple transfer steps into a big opportunity in the SEC and projects to take over as the starter for the Commodores. Davis is impressive in his own right, having run for 936 yards and eight touchdowns as a freshman in 2019. He opted during last season and now goes to a backfield where none of its members had more than 50 carries or averaged more than 4.2 YPC last year with Keyon Henry-Brooks gone. Davis’ ceiling is limited by team context as Vanderbilt is in a rebuild and plays a tough schedule, but he is still talented enough to generate fantasy-relevant production.
