Davis caught his lone target for 31 yards while adding two carries for two yards and three kickoff returns for 114 yards during the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday.
Davis opened Monday's contest in style with a 70-yard return on the opening kickoff that set the Bills up deep in Rams territory, though the Rams defense forced a three-and-out and Buffalo had to settle for a 49-yard field goal. Davis made another big contribution early in the fourth quarter, when he turned a screen pass into a 31-yard gain before being tackled just short of the goal line, which led to a one-yard touchdown run by Josh Allen on the next play. Davis has been limited mostly to work on special teams while mixing in occasionally in the back field. That said, Davis and Ty Johnson could both be in the mix for more offensive touches, given that head coach Joe Brady said Tuesday that "...at some point there has to be consequences" in reference to James Cook's fumble issues this season, per Nick Suss of ESPN.com. The Bills will stay on the road for Week 6 against the Raiders on Oct. 18.
Davis (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Davis popped up on the injury report Thursday as a full participant, which would suggest he was possibly injured at the end of that practice. If Davis is unable to play in Week 4, Ty Johnson and Frank Gore will likely handle the backup duties behind James Cook.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
Davis played five snaps on offense and five snaps on special teams without showing up in the box score otherwise in the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Davis could work as Buffalo's clear second-string running back against the Jaguars in the wild-card round Sunday, as Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports that Ty Johnson was a non-participant for a second consecutive practice Thursday.
Johnson could be unavailable for Buffalo's postseason opener, which would allow Davis to work as the top alternative to James Cook. During the regular season, Johnson had 74 touches to Davis' 68. Davis excelled in a larger role in Week 18, rushing for 151 yards and scoring a receiving touchdown against the Jets.
The RBs priced immediately above and below him.
