Bills HC Sean McDermott said he thinks RB James Cook and DT Ed Oliver "have a chance" to play against the Titans on Sunday. He says his hope is that both play.

Cook was ultimately was ruled out on Monday night in what many felt was a bit of a surprise. Those in the dynasty community have been well aware of Davis and his potential. Davis is considered "old" for a rookie, already 25, but many felt he was NFL-ready, and he showed that on MNF: rushing for 97 and leading the Bills in receiving with a 3-55-0 line. Twice, once after a penalty, Davis was denied a chance for a TD on the 1-yard line and Josh Allen took it in or Davis' fantasy production would have been a few points higher. Still, Davis could have earned himself more work going for forward, but at the very least has fantasy value as a handcuff to Cook owners.

Another Monday night inactive surprise at RB: James Cook is out tonight due to his toe injury, per source. It’s the first NFL game in three seasons that Cook has missed.

Cook is unable to go tonight. The Bills added to that speculation a few hours ago when they announced rookie RB Gore would suit up. Davis could be in line for the early down work with Johnson getting passing downs. Gore could also mix in as well. It will be a tough matchup against the Jets on the road.

RB James Cook (foot/toe) remained sidelined at Thursday’s Bills practice. Cook’s second straight absence. Looking less likely that he will play against the Jets, but the longer week gives him a better chance.

If Cook were to miss Week 6, it's hard to say how the backfield load would get divvied up. Obviously Ty Johnson has more experience than rookie Ray Davis, but it's the latter who leads in the carry department, 26-10. Davis feels like the better pick-up, but neither one would carry a full bellcow load regardless, which makes them iffy spot-starts.
