News: 6 days agoDavis secured one of two targets for 20 yards in the Jaguars' 26-13 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday night.

Spin: Davis recorded his one reception on the opening play of the Jaguars' second possession, and he saw a second target later in the drive that was confirmed incomplete on a replay challenge. Davis is slated to open the season as the Jaguars' No. 2 receiver, but he'll presumably have to hold off what could be a progressively aggressive challenge from rookie first-round pick Brian Thomas, who impressed with a 41-yard catch of his own Saturday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Davis and Bills fans will always have that legendary four-score playoff performance to remember, but the future for this vertical threat has him donning teal and gold. The Jaguars boldly committed to Davis to add verticality to their playbook. Of the 111 NFL receivers with at least 100 total targets since the start of the 2021 season, Davis ranks second with a robust 16.6 yards per reception, confirming his status as a go-route guru. Speaking to the team's intentions with Davis, Trevor Lawrence ranks third in the NFL behind only Josh Allen and Tua Tagovailoa with 375 attempts of at least 10 air yards over the past two seasons. With the team investing heavily in fellow big-play threat Brian Thomas Jr. in the draft, it's worth wondering if Davis sees enough targets to deliver sustainable fantasy success. That's why you will find David available deeper into most drafts.
